1806 C-4, B-4 Half Cent, MS63 Red
Large 6, Stems

1806 1/2 C Large 6, Stems, C-4, B-4, R.1, MS63 Red PCGS. CAC. Breen Die State I. Manley Die State 1.0. Bold repunching of the 6 is clearly evident on this elusive early die state example. Ron Manley writes in The Half Cent Die State Book:

"A large number of Mint State pieces exist, many with abundant mint red, as a result of the hoard of specimens purchased in 1906 by the Chapman brothers. These typically have clear repunching on the 6 and weak strikes."



Housed in a green-label PCGS holder, this piece is likely an example from the hoard, exhibiting brilliant orange mint color with delicate olive and bluish-brown patina. A few trivial spots are evident. Only nine 1806 half cents have earned the Red designation at PCGS, including all varieties. PCGS Population for all 1806 varieties: 4 in MS63 Red, 2 finer (6/18). Our EAC grade MS63.
