拍品描述： 1802/0 Draped Bust Half Cent. C-2, B-2. Rarity-3. AU Details--Damage (PCGS).An exceptional representative of this rare issue and an important offering for Early Copper specialists. The surfaces are wonderfully glossy in hand, with significant blooms of Mint luster remaining in the protected areas. A blend of dark espresso and chocolate brown shades dominate the complexion, along with traces of original patina around the devices. Smooth overall, but with a few old marks visible under magnification. The most significant of which appears in the left obverse field, and another is well hidden at Libertys shoulder. Sharply struck in Manley Die State 2.0, with rust lumps between I and B of LIBERTY but before Libertys lower curl is opened from lapping. An attractive and sharp example of this rarity, seldom encountered above VF. The very finest known example is the spectacular EF-45 (PCGS) Miles-Pogue specimen sold in our March 2017 sale for $199,750.
