Lot Description

1834 Classic Half Cent. C-1, the only known dies. Rarity-1. Manley Die State 1.0. MS-63 BN (PCGS). The satiny chestnut-brown surfaces of this pleasing half cent offer lively cartwheel luster along with lively blue and rose iridescence when viewed in a bright light source. The strike is sharp throughout and no marks of any size greet the unaided eye. Choice and appealing at every level. Manley Die State 1.0. "Obverse: Perfect die. Reverse: Perfect die. No clash marks. Common." PCGS# 35285. Provenance: From the Michael Demling Collection. Acquired from Doug Bird at the November 1996 Baltimore Expo. Collector envelope with attribution and pedigree notes included.
