Elusive 1826 C-2, B-2 Half Cent, AU50
1826 1/2 C AU50 Uncertified. C-2, B-2, R.3. Breen State I. Manley State 1.0. EAC 50. Nearly all of the original blundered 6 is still visible on this piece.An elusive variety that is generally only found in grades up to XF, with only about seven or eight AU or finer pieces known. This example ranks among those probable Condition Census representatives.
Mostly sharp details with typical weakness only noted among a few leaves on the reverse. Possibly cleaned and retoned. The surfaces are smooth olive-brown with hints of pale orange through a few of the peripheral details on each side.
