Lot Description

1804 Draped Bust Half Cent. C-13, B-10. Rarity-1. Manley Die State 2.0. Plain 4, Stemless Wreath. MS-64 BN (PCGS). CAC. Plentiful in Mint State by the standards of the overall scarce half cent series, the 1804 C-13 Draped Bust has long been popular for high grade type purposes. This glossy steel-brown beauty also reveals intermingled sandy-orange highlights in isolated areas at the borders. Bold to sharp in strike, with expectably smooth surfaces at the near-Gem grade level. Lovely coin.
