Description

1806 1/2 C Large 6, Stems MS63 Red PCGS. B-4, C-4, R.1. The oversized 6 in the date provides ready attribution. Manley Die State 1.0, "Scarce," the repunching along the left border of the 6 is clear. A radiant brick-red Half Cent that has a predominantly strong strike although softer details are on the drapery and the upper reverse. A couple of minor marks and pale gray toning flecks define the grade. Dr. Manley writes in his Half Cent Die State Book that a hoard of this variety was purchased by the Chapman brothers in 1906 which included pieces with "abundant mint red," perhaps the present piece has this provenance. The dies are rotated 60 degrees clockwise.(#1101) (Registry values: P4)
