拍品描述： 1805 Draped Bust Half Cent. C-1. Rarity-1. Medium 5, Stemless Wreath. MS-63 BN (PCGS).This is a hard, tight, satiny example bathed in rich steel-copper patina. Glints of faded golden-orange color are also evident, faint remnants of the original mint color. Ideally centered in strike with all devices boldly to sharply defined, this smooth-looking Choice example is equally well suited for high grade type or variety purposes.

Manley (<em>The Half Cent Die State Book: 1793-1857</em>, 1998), this is the final die marriage produced for the 1805-dated issue. Survivors are plentiful in an absolute sense, and there are also a number of Mint State coins known, as here. With most Uncirculated examples in tightly held collections, however, this is a fleeting bidding opportunity that should not be overlooked. Manley Die State 2.0.PCGS Population: 6; 6 finer in this category (MS-65 BN finest).
