Description

1804 C-8 Half Cent, MS62 Brown
One of Six Draped Bust Gold CACs
Ex: Harlan Smith, John H. Clapp, Eliasberg

1804 1/2 C Spiked Chin, C-8, B-7, R.1, MS62 Brown PCGS. Gold CAC. Manley Die State 2.0. Chocolate-brown, golden-biscuit, and mustard combine on the obverse to create a sumptuous patina, with the reverse adding in some hints of red-steel. Virtually no abrasions of any severity are present on either side. This coin has two superlative features: its Gold CAC sticker and its pedigree. Achieving a Gold CAC sticker is an extremely rare occurrence, with only six awarded to Draped Bust half cents and 34 for the denomination in general. The pedigree also features an all-star lineup of numismatists of the ages.
Ex: Harlan P. Smith Collection (S.H. and H. Chapman, 5/1906); J.M. Clapp; John H. Clapp; Clapp Estate (1942); Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. (Bowers & Merena, 5/1996), lot 419.
From The Siesta Key Collection.
