Description

1803 C-1 Half Cent, AU55
CAC-Approved Conditional Rarity

1803 1/2 C C-1, B-1, R.1, AU55 PCGS. CAC. Manley Die State 2.0. Pristine surfaces are graced with golden-biscuit and steel-brown coloration, with the former more prevalent in the top half, and the latter in the bottom half. Striking weakness is only slight on the obverse. These wonderful factors earned this superlative specimen a CAC sticker on its Generation 3.1 green label holder. While this is the most common die marriage of the year, it is rare in high grade, not becoming readily attainable until the XF level.
From The Siesta Key Collection.
