Lot Description

Manley Die State 2.0. Truly a lovely AU example for a type or date set. Rich milk chocolate color with hints of steely brown and accents of orange and olive, this is quite the handsome specimen. Nice hard surfaces are free of roughness or any other environmental issue that often plagues these early copper issues. For the type and grade, the eye appeal is quite compelling and with the historic provenance, this 1805 half cent worthy of a premium bid from the early copper enthusiast.
