1804 Draped Bust Half Cent. C-13. Rarity-1. Plain 4, Stemless Wreath. MS-62 BN (PCGS). Satiny and smooth-looking surfaces are toned in dominant antique copper-brown patina. A few glints of light rose-apricot color also are evident, generally around the peripheries. Well struck for the die state (Manley 3.0), this is an attractive piece with superior quality at the MS-62 grade level. This desirable half cent is part of a special consignment that is making its debut in the modern numismatic market. Collected by our consignors father in the 1950s and 1960s, and generally obtained outside of regular numismatic channels, these coins are sure to see spirited bidding among todays early copper enthusiasts. From the Collection of Dr. Frances W. Constable.
