Small 5, Stems, Accessible Grade
1805 1/2 C Small 5, Stems, C-3, B-3, R.4, Fine 15 PCGS.
Manley Die State 2.0. The combination of a Small 5 obverse with a
Stems reverse is the scarcest among 1805 half cents, though
ironically, the same combination is the only one represented by
multiple die pairs. This well-worn example is surprisingly luminous
with generous cinnamon-rose accents against the chocolate surfaces.
The strike is largely decent with, most of the legends still
legible with the exception of ALF NT.Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2008), lot 111; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2010), lot 59; Boston Signature (Heritage, 8/2010), lot 3805.
