Lot Description

1835 Classic Half Cent. C-1. Rarity-1. Manley Die State 1.0. MS-64+ BN (PCGS). A sharp striking impression brings up each of the design elements with essentially complete detail. The lower serif of the L in LIBERTY is bifurcated, apparently due to flawed die preparation, and there are noticeable clash marks adjacent to Liberty's throat and portrait. A gorgeous piece with full luster and variegated mahogany-brown, cobalt-blue, and violet toning. PCGS# 1168.
