- Lot Description
- 1805 Draped Bust Half Cent. C-4, B-4. Rarity-2. Manley Die State 1.0. Large 5, Stems to Wreath. VF-30 (PCGS). The Large 5, Stems to Wreath <em>Guide Book </em>variety is diagnostic for the C-4 attribution. This richly original piece exhibits olive-copper patina to moderately worn, yet still boldly defined features. Old, inactive verdigris in the protected areas around the reverse devices is noted for accuracy, but there are no significant blemishes.
