1805 C-3 Half Cent, Fine 15
Small 5, Stems, Accessible Grade

1805 1/2 C Small 5, Stems, C-3, B-3, R.4, Fine 15 PCGS. Manley Die State 2.0. The combination of a Small 5 obverse with a Stems reverse is the scarcest among 1805 half cents, though ironically, the same combination is the only one represented by multiple die pairs. This well-worn example is surprisingly luminous with generous cinnamon-rose accents against the chocolate surfaces. The strike is largely decent with, most of the legends still legible with the exception of ALF NT.
