Description

1809 C-3, B-4 Half Cent
MS65 Red and Brown

Normal Date Variety

1809 1/2 C C-3, B-4, R.1, MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Breen Die State I. Manley Die State 1.0, where the author describes a die crack through stars 1 to 4. That crack is not readily apparent on this example. A faint crack is evident through ED STATES, apparently as always on this die marriage. While the strike is shallow, this exceptional Gem has lustrous olive-brown surfaces with generous portions of original light orange mint color on each side. All 1809 half cents, regardless of the variety, are elusive with any amount of red remaining on either side. PCGS has never certified an example designated Red, and they have only certified 12 submissions with the Red and Brown designation. Only one of those 12 is finer than this piece. PCGS Population: 2 in 65 Red and Brown, 1 finer (6/18). Our EAC grade MS63.
Ex: Tom Reynolds Collection.
