NGC Details. VF. Our EAC grade VG8. 82.0 grains. Breen
Die State II. Manley Die State 2.0. The 1809 C-1 half cent was not
known to Ebenezer Gilbert in 1916. Richard Picker discovered it in
1954 while examining a group of half cents at the ANA convention of
that year. Sharp-eyed collectors have found additional examples
during the intervening years. Roger S. Cohen, Jr. rated the variety
R.7 in 1971. Walter Breen reported about 14 pieces known in 1983.
Ronald Manley assigned a High R.5 rating in 1998. William Eckberg
recently estimated a population of 65 or more representatives.
Hints of gold and blue toning appear on the charcoal surfaces of
this example that displays slight surface roughness. A few old
scrapes at the upper obverse are blended with their surroundings.
It is virtually impossible to find a problem-free example of this
variety in nice XF or better condition.Ex: Acquired unattributed from "Fussetter" in Huntington (3/22/1968 for 17.50); Donald G. Partrick.
