- Lot Description
- 1808 Draped Bust Half Cent. C-3, B-3. Rarity-1. Manley Die State 5.0. VF-25 (PCGS). OGH. The normal date is diagnostic for this, the most frequently encountered die marriage of the 1808 Half Cent. Deep olive-copper patina blankets both sides of this moderately worn VF. There are no significant blemishes for the grade, and the definition is suitably bold apart from the diagnostic peripheral softness of Manley Die State 5.0.
