Lot Description

Manley Die State 1.0, Fuhrman Die State 1. This is a handsome coin, both sides fully struck with rich autumn-orange and medium copper-brown patina. Generally smooth in appearance, despite the presence of a few well-scattered carbon flecks, with a soft satin texture. Possibly from a hoard of several hundred Mint State 1833 half cents discovered by the Guttag brothers in New York City during the 1930s.
