拍品描述： 1805 Draped Bust Half Cent. C-2, B-2. Rarity-5. Small 5, Stems to Wreath. VF Details--Damage (PCGS).Attractive and impressively preserved, with hard surfaces and a glossy complexion. Olive brown and espresso hues dominate the aesthetic, with accents of red-orange patina surround the devices on the reverse. A few old marks account for the PCGS qualifier, though these fail to draw the naked eye. A tiny nick at the 2 oclock on the obverse is joined by similar marks at OF and the left ribbon end on the reverse. Sharply struck for the variety, with the denomination HALF CENT fully rendered as is seldom seen from these dies. Both Breen and Manley emphasize that this rare variety is challenging, with even the Condition Census mainly composed of examples grading Fine to Very Fine. This present piece falls into the mid range of this Census and is a significant opportunity for Early Copper specialists.Ex Suzie Lewandowski.
