Condition Census 1805 C-2 Half Cent, VF30

1805 1/2 C Small 5, Stems VF30 NGC. C-2, B-2, R.5. This is the rarest 1805 variety, and one of the most important half cent varieties of any year. Although it has a few microscopic scratches on each side, the surfaces and color are as fine as any 1805 C-2 we have handled. Both sides are dark chocolate with some lighter tan and maroon. A small patch of corrosion on the reverse is barely noticeable. According to Copper Quotes by Robinson, there are only two VF coins and three Fine examples known. This piece is clearly in the Condition Census for the variety. MRB Fine 15.(Registry values: P5)

Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 1087, Greysheet# 489)

Weight: 5.44 grams
