Lot Description

1811 Classic Half Cent. C-2. Rarity-3-. Manley Die State 2.0. Close Date. VF-35 BN (NGC). This key date half cent displays deep patina and is nearly dark olive. The strike is sharp and the surfaces are average with scattered shallow pin lines and nicks, common to early copper. A mere 63,140 pieces were struck in 1811 and are represented by two die pairings. High grade coins have always been hard to find, as collector demand exceeds the general supply. PCGS# 1135.
