1810 C-1, B-1 Half Cent, MS65+ Brown
Ex: Green-Newman-Missouri Cabinet
Breen Plate Coin

1810 1/2 C C-1, B-1, R.2, MS65+ Brown PCGS. CAC. Ex: Missouri Cabinet. This impressive example is the plate coin on page 308 of Walter Breen's Half Cent Encyclopedia and it is recorded in his census on page 309. Manley Die State 1.0, the only state recorded in his reference. Fuhrman Die State 4. The obverse is cracked through stars 5, 6, and 7 into the hair, and the die flaw from the neck across Liberty's hair is clear on this Gem. The reverse is lightly cracked through the tops of TED STATES and faintly at the tops of MER. Like most 1810 half cents, this example has weak definition on the right-side stars and through AMERICA. The reverse is rotated about 30 degrees counterclockwise. This outstanding example is clearly one of the best known pieces with lustrous light brown on the obverse and intermingled chocolate and steel on the reverse. Both sides show traces of faded mint red. Dark toning is noted inside star 5 and between the 1 and 0 of the date, serving to identified this census-level 1810 half cent. Population: 2 in 65 (1 in 65+) Brown, 1 finer (9/23).
