 Lot 158 - united states classic head half cents - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #841809 C-1 R7+ (as a die state) AG3. A couple points sharper but covered with light to moderate roughness on all but the highpoints, which are smooth. No verdigris. The only mark is a dull dent in the center of the obverse that caused a faint bulge in the center of the reverse over EN in CENT. The date is strong and the legends are complete except for UNITED, which is mostly worn away or lost in the roughness. The highpoints are glossy light steel brown and tan while the protected areas are a darker shade of olive brown and chocolate. Extremely rare late die state, Manley state 3.0, with a strong cud break connecting MERI to the rim. The reverse is rotated 30 degrees CCW. One of only 4 or 5 examples known with the cud break and a major die state that was missing in the fabulous Missouri Cabinet Collection, the only complete collection of half cents by die variety ever formed. A very important piece for the specialist. Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #84united states classic head half cents |
