1/2 Cent    (sold for $480.0)

1809 C-1 R4 G5. Tab Double Strike. Sharpness VF25 or so but this piece was beat up and assigning a net grade is more subjective than normal. Glossy chocolate brown without any hint of corrosion or verdigris, but there are numerous strong contact marks on both sides. The most-obvious ones are a dull diagonal dent on star 8 and a deep nick above the A in HALF, but there are many more. This piece was struck two times, and one of those was 95% off center creating a tab above the head. The tab was tapped down so we lost most of the details (if any) that were on the tab, but the dentils from the off center strike are clear on the obverse side. Someone badly disrespected an otherwise fantastic half cent. MDS, Manley state 2.0. The die crack through the tops of MERICA is clear. Davy #09.1.4. Estimated Value $500-UP. Ex Don Valenziano 4/20/02. Categories:
