1800 Half Cent, C-1, MS63 Red
Extremely Rare in Full Red

1800 1/2 C C-1, B-1, R.1, MS63 Red PCGS. Manley Die State 3.0, "very scarce." Full Red 1800 half cents are very rare. In fact, we have not located any auction appearances of a Red-certified example apart from the present piece. As of (7/21), NGC has yet to certify any examples as full Red. PCGS has graded six pieces as Red, but it is more likely than not that all of those grading events were from resubmissions of the same coin. This Select half cent is predominantly orange-red, with a hint of deeper color near the center-right portion of the wreath. Moderate carbon is distributed, as expected of the grade. No marks are apparent. A highly important opportunity for the half cent specialist. Our EAC grade MS64.
