Lot Title:

1806 (C-4, R.1) NGC MS-62 RB.
|
|
Description:
|
The large "6" merges into the bust, all that is required to attribute C-4, with die-state I easy to identify by the strong repunching of that digit. This simply has to be a member of the hoard that Breen mentions, as it fits the bill in every way: 90% mint red and spotted. In fact, the luster is almost sensational, reminiscent of that seen on the best Randall cents, and truly, the reverse is fully mint red. A couple of the tiny spots have ejected oxidation, especially one between "BE", and several broad grey areas appear on the obverse, but the reverse is amazingly well preserved. An incredible selection for type purposes.

A nifty trio of half-cents, all with much stronger details than average for circulated pieces. 1806 C-1 has nice XF details, or very close to it, and also decent olive-brown patina, but close... |
