Lot Description

1800 Draped Bust Half Cent. C-1, the only known dies. Rarity-1. Manley Die State 4.0. AU-55 BN (NGC). This 1800 half cent issue is elusive at this high grade level and ever popular with collectors. Light tan to brown, satin smooth surfaces show fewer than average handling marks. One minor speck is noted on the upper reverse and a shallow rim nick resides left of the fraction.
