Description

1809 C-6, B-6 Half Cent, MS63 Brown
Scarce Early Die State

1809 1/2 C C-6, B-6, R.1, MS63 Brown NGC. Our EAC Grade MS60. Considerable light amber, rose, and blue toning accompanies the medium chocolate-brown surfaces of this lovely half cent. Fingerprint toning lines appear on the obverse, with a splash of original orange mint color at the right side of the reverse. Full dentilation appears on the obverse, and nearly so on the reverse.

Variety: C-6, B-6. Manley Die State 2.0, which he describes as very scarce, specifically mentioning the present piece as one of two he had identified when The Half Cent Die State Book 1793-1857 was published in 1998.

Population Data (3/15): For all 1809 varieties, NGC shows 25 in MS63 Brown and 31 finer. For the C-6, NGC reports this MS63 Brown piece and four finer.

Heritage Commentary: When NGC and PCGS began grading coins, they only identified major varieties and kept track of populations accordingly. More recently, both services have begun detailed variety attribution, and tracked population data by those varieties. However, there are many pieces whose attribution remains unknown.

Provenance: Numisma '95 (Stack's, 11/1995), lot 1014.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 222P, Variety PCGS# 35227, Base PCGS# 1123, Greysheet# 80907)

Weight: 5.44 grams

Metal: 100% Copper
