Description

1805 C-1, B-1 Half Cent, MS64 Brown
Small 5, No Stems

1805 1/2 C No Stems, C-1, B-1, R.1, MS64 Brown PCGS. CAC. Breen Die State I. Manley Die State 2.0. This is the usual die state, or presumed to be so, although centering fails to allow viewing of the rim crumbling that Manley describes in his reference. Half cents of 1805 are scarce in Mint State grades, with only 40 such pieces certified by PCGS, ranging from MS60 to MS65. Only three of the 40 are designated Red and Brown. Both sides exhibit full cartwheel luster with olive-brown toning on the obverse and chocolate-brown on the reverse. Trivial marks on each side prevent a higher grade. Our EAC grade MS63.
