1809 C-4, B-1 Half Cent, MS61 Brown
Recut 0 in Date
So-Called 'Circle in 0' Variety

1809 1/2 C Small o Inside 0, C-4, B-1, R.3, MS61 Brown PCGS. Manley Die State 1.0, the usual die state with repunching visible on stars 3, 6, and 10. The engraver chose the wrong punch for the 0 in the date, perhaps using a punch intended for a dime die. The blunder was quickly detected and the proper size 0 was then punched in the die, creating this popular Guide Book listed variety. Luster remains on both sides with walnut-brown patina on the obverse exhibiting traces of tan along the right-side border. The reverse is mostly golden-tan with splashes of darker brown. An exceptional, eye-appealing example. Our EAC grade MS60.
