1809 Normal Date (C-1, Die State 2, R.5) VF details/as described.
|
|
Various sources place rarity of the C-1 for 1809 anywhere between "low R.5" to "high R.5", but without doubt, however many pieces survive, most seen tend to be in fairly low grade, with many showing... |

1809 (C-3). PCGS MS-63BN.
|
|
C-3 has been reported as the most common die-marriage in uncirculated grades for the 1809 half-cent, and certainly the R.1 "very common" rating reflects real-world experience. This example presents... |

|
1809 Normal Date (C-1, R.5+). VG/reverse planchet flaw.
|
|
A normal-date obverse is paired with a reverse with the high leaf left of "S" above to find C-1 as proper attribution. Technically, this last attribution pickup-point can scarcely be confirmed... |

|
1809 Normal Date (C-2, R.3). XF.
|
|
The date is close to the bust, with "1" a little high, and on the reverse, the high leaf falls just right of "S" above, giving C-2 as the variety. Cleaned at one time, but allowed to retone naturally... |

|
1809 Normal Date (C-3, R.1). NGC AU-58 BN.
|
|
Attributed as C-3 by NGC, and seemingly die-state II to III, with a faint crack building up between the first three stars. Surfaces display excellent, hard glossy texture and considerable luster,... |

1809 Normal Date (C-3, R.1). PCGS AU-58.
|
|
C-3, the "normal date", and a nice, early die-state responsible for exquisite detail. On top of that, color on the obverse is fantastic, greeting the eye with 80% caramel-smooth copper-brown patina,... |

1809 Normal Date (C-3, R.1). NGC MS-60 BN.
|
|
180 are distant and "09" close for C-3, with "ES" placed perceptibly high on the reverse. Die-state III, with hints in the expanding die cracks of the later IV . Celebrate the moment as a grading... |

|
1809 Normal Date (C-6, R.1). PCGS AU-58.
|
|
Arrangement of the numerals in the date -- on an arc, but not a circular arc -- diagnoses C-6, and this is die-state II, with a faint crack above STATE. Dies are rotated about 150 degrees (near... |

1809 Normal Date (C-3). PCGS MS-63 BN.
|
|
Cartwheel luster energizes the deep, original brown patina, and the strike is sharper in the central areas than at the edges. Indeed, the upper right obverse rim is a trifle weak, showing no... |
