Description
Pleasing 1804 C-11, B-12 Half Cent, XF40
1804 1/2 C Plain 4, Stems XF40 NGC. C-11, B-12, R.2. Breen State V. Manley State 2.0. EAC 30. A faint trace of the crack (or die scratch) in the left obverse field is evident. The ribbon bows are weak, a result of die sinking.Die sinking is often called die "bulging," although that is a misnomer. The result of die sinking is actually a bulge on the coin.
A tiny obverse rim bruise at 10 o'clock and a reverse rim nick at 12 o'clock only slightly diminish the overall desirability of this piece. Attractive olive and chocolate-brown with a few tiny dark brown flecks on the obverse. The upper obverse and lower reverse details are weak as a result of the reverse die sinking.
