1809/6 C-5 R-1 PCGS MS 65 BN CAC Classic Head Half Cent Coin 1/2c

Description

PCGS authenticated and graded MS 65 BN. Very attractive lustrous steel brown and light chocolate with hints of faded mint color in some of the protected areas. The only mark is a trail of extremely tiny ticks between the H and A in HALF barely visible under a glass. E-MDS, Manley state 1.0. The repunching on the 9 is sharp and the lump under the second A in AMERICA is strong. A nearly flawless piece that offers outstanding eye appeal. Certainly one of the finest known examples of this popular "Redbook" variety. CAC certified.
