Losbeschreibung

1803 Draped Bust Half Cent. C-3. Rarity-1. Widely Spaced 3. MS-63 BN (NGC). Lovely satin surfaces reveal faint remnants of faded rose color as the coin dips into a light. Dominant autumn-brown patina to both sides, the strike uncommonly bold for the type and the in hand appearance remarkably smooth. While the 1803 C-3 is not a rare die marriage in an absolute sense, and there are even quite a few Mint State survivors known, high grade Draped Bust half cents of all issues and varieties are scarce to rare when viewed in the wider context of U.S. numismatics. Manley Die State 3.0. PCGS# 1060. NGC ID: 222E. Click here for certification details from NGC.
