1809 C-6, B-6 Half Cent, MS65 Brown
First Classic Head Issue

1809 1/2 C C-6, B-6, R.1, MS65 Brown PCGS. CAC. Ex: Missouri Cabinet. Fuhrman Die State 5 and the plate coin for that die state in The Half Cent Handbook, Classic Head and Braided Hair Varieties that was published in 2021. The reverse is rotated about 150 degrees counterclockwise. This impressive Gem survives in finer condition than most 1809 half cents, regardless of the variety. Although PCGS has certified more than 160 Mint State 1809 half cents, just 16 of those grade MS65 or MS66. This lovely half cent has an attractive blend of chocolate-brown, olive, and pale blue with generally sharp details and great eye appeal. Population: 6 in 65 (2 in 65+) Brown, 1 finer (11/23).
Ex: William K. Raymond (9/8/1976); R. Tettenhorst; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society; Missouri Cabinet (Goldberg Auctions, 1/2014), lot 99; Bruce Gimelson.
