1793 C-1 R3+ VF25. Choice glossy light chocolate brown with slightly darker chocolate and olive brown toning on the highpoints. A truly beautiful example with smooth, virtually flawless surfaces. The only marks, and they are trivial, are a tiny rim nick left of the L in LIBERTY and a light rim bruise at the F in OF. Nicely struck E-MDS, Manley state 2.0 early. The faint rust streaks in the left obverse field associated with state 2.0 are just starting to form. The strike is properly centered on the planchet and the reverse is aligned perfectly head-to-foot. Noyes photo #73603. A great way to begin the sale of this outstanding collection, one filled with beautiful examples that were carefully selected for their quality and eye appeal. Weight 101.5 grains.
Estimated Value $8,000-UP.

1793 C-2 R3 VF25. Frosty dark steel brown with lighter brown and tan toning in the most-protected areas. The surfaces are excellent but not perfect as there are microscopic pre-striking planchet chips in the obverse fields, mostly behind the portrait. No hint of corrosion or verdigris. The only contact marks are a small pinprick just right of the D in UNITED, a barely visible rim bruise at the adjacent E, and a small mark on the rim over the second T in STATES. A tiny planchet flake at the border beads below the fraction can also help identify this piece. Nicely struck EDS, Manley state 1.0 (the only known die state for this variety), with the reverse rotated 30 degrees clockwise from a head-to-foot orientation. The obverse is positioned slightly off center to the bottom and the reverse is a bit off to the upper left, but the border beads are complete around both sides. Another very attractive, well balanced 1793 half cent from this high-quality collection. Weight 114.8 grains.
Estimated Value $9,000-UP.

1793 C-3 R3 F15. Very attractive glossy chocolate brown with slightly lighter chocolate toning in protected areas on both sides. The planchet is smooth and the surfaces are virtually flawless. The best identifying marks are a tiny rim nick at TE in STATES and a barely visible rim bruise at the E in AMERICA, but these imperfections are trivial. The eye appeal of this piece is truly exceptional for the grade. MDS (there are no significantly different die states for this variety). Struck very slightly off center to K-9 and the reverse is rotated 10 degrees clockwise from a perfect head-to-foot die orientation. Noyes photo #73600. Weight 102.0 grains.

1793 C-4 R3 VF25. Beautiful glossy medium brown with darker steel brown and chocolate toning on the devices. A faint area of reddish brown toning shows over the 93 in the date. The only signs of contact are a thin, light diagonal nick high on the cheekbone, a couple nearly imperceptible rim bruises off the bust tip, and a small rim nick at the N in UNITED.

1794 C-1b R6 Small Edge Letters F12. Slightly sharper but there are a few fine old scratches at the top of the reverse with a couple extending down inside the wreath. These marks all blend perfectly into the glossy olive and steel brown toning. The surfaces are smooth except for traces of extremely fine roughness confined to protected areas on the obverse. No verdigris or other distractions. The Small Edge Letters are complete and uniformly strong, which is significant since that feature is what distinguishes this rare variety from the more common Large Edge Letters version. MDS, Manley state 1.0, prior to the bulge at the top of the wreath. The reverse is rotated very slightly clockwise from a head-to-foot die orientation. An important example of this rare variety.

Finding any identifying marks presents quite a challenge; a barely visible rim nick above the lower end of the pole and an equally insignificant rim bruise left of the top of the cap will have to suffice for this purpose. M-LDS, Manley state 3.0, showing strong die clashmarks before the portrait. The reverse is rotated 20 degrees clockwise. A really nice example of this relatively common die variety.

1794 C-2b R6 Large Edge Letters G4. Sharpness VG7 but there are a few dull dents on the portrait that were strong enough to cause bulges at the opposing areas on the reverse. These bulges have obliterated most of HALF CENT and parts of the wreath, but the remainder of the reverse legend remains visible. In addition there is a small punchmark in the center of the reverse. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and free of notable marks. Glossy olive brown and chocolate with a splash of slightly darker olive brown toning across the upper part of the obverse. The Large Edge Letters are complete and strong. EDS, Manley state 1.0, before the dies clashed. Struck with the dies in a perfect head-to-foot orientation.

The surfaces are smooth and the only notable marks are a small splash of reddish chocolate toning under the 94, a small rim nick at the end of the pole, and a shallow low spot (incomplete planchet) at the top of EN in CENT. Very close to VG10. The date and legends are strong except for weakness at E in CENT thanks to the low spot in the planchet. The Large Edge Letters are complete and clear.

These include myriad light hairline scratches on the portrait, a dull nick on the base of the Y in LIBERTY, and several small rim nicks on both sides. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and glossy and the eye appeal remains quite nice for the grade. Glossy chocolate brown with slightly lighter brown toning in protected areas. All the contact marks are old and blend perfectly into the attractive toning. LDS, Manley state 2.0. The die crack down through the second T in STATES reaches the A in HALF before it fades out.

1794 C-9 R2 EF45. Glossy light olive and chocolate brown with lighter brown toning in protected areas. Great eye appeal for the grade. The only "defects" are microscopic pre-striking planchet chips mixed in with some equally tiny tick marks scattered over both sides. These marks are concentrated in the field before the portrait and inside the wreath, and they are visible only with the aid of a good glass. The best identifying mark is a hint of reddish chocolate toning under ME in AMERICA. LDS, Manley state 3.0, with a clear rim cud break just left of the fraction. The obverse is perfectly centered on the planchet while the reverse is off very slightly to K-8.

The bulge at AME is very strong and the dull die clashmark from the base of the F in OF down to the leaf below is weak but visible. Struck with the reverse misaligned to K-9 and rotated 15 degrees CW. A curved planchet clip (mint made) is clearly visible left of the cap and above NITE.

Mint state sharpness but lightly cleaned and retoned lustrous dark chocolate and olive blending to iridescent dark steel in areas. The surfaces are flawless except for a single microscopic planchet chip near the dentils off the chin, as struck, and a very small rim bruise above the O in OF. Struck slightly off center to K-4 but all the designs remain on the planchet. Evidence of the TAL Cent undertype shows above STATES-O, but there is not enough of the undertype remaining to determine the date of the TAL Cent (1794 or 1795).

1795 C-6b R6 No Pole on Thick Planchet VF25+. Glossy reddish chocolate and steel with steel brown toning on the highpoints. The surfaces are smooth and free of any distractions, which is especially important for a variety that usually comes with significant defects. The best identifying marks, and they are trivial, are four very faint parallel hairlines across the neck and a small spot of slightly darker toning above the L in LIBERTY. The edge of the planchet is slightly beveled before the face indicating the planchet was cut out too close to the edge of a spoiled large cent. Nicely struck EDS, Manley state 1.0, with no trace of swelling right of the Y in LIBERTY. Called CC#3 in the Jim McGuigan and Mike Spurlock condition census lists. A very important example of this rare variety, clearly superior to either of the Breen plate coins. Weight 105.8 grains (versus the rolled planchet standard of 84.0 grains).

The reverse is rotated 20 degrees CCW. Removed from a PCGS slab graded AU58 (PCGS label included, #1042.58/90011661, and the 1 above 1 feature is noted on the label). Came in tied for third finest in the 2006 Half Cent Happening at the EAC Convention. Weight 95.5 grains.

1797 C-2 R3 EF45. Lustrous chocolate brown and steel with traces of frosty lighter steel brown toning in protected areas. The fields are hard and slightly reflective and this piece offers outstanding eye appeal. Close to AU50 but the portrait is covered with pre-striking microscopic planchet chips, as nearly always seen on this variety. The only signs of contact are a very faint hairline scratch in the field under the Y in LIBERTY and a barely visible rim nick above that Y. Sharply struck and rather well centered on the planchet. Later die state showing an area of swelling in the field left of the top of the cap. A beautiful example of arguably the most aesthetically pleasing die variety in the half cent series, a variety that Manley says is very rare in grades above Very Fine. Only two examples are known in mint state and the next finest grades AU50. Weight 81.8 grains. And it comes with a nice provenance.
Estimated Value $8,000-UP.

1797 C-2 R3 VF25+. Struck over a cut-down Talbot Allum & Lee (TAL) Cent. Sharpness at least 5 points better but the obverse displays very fine hairlines, strongest in the field before the portrait. The only other marks are a small pinprick inside the C in CENT and a thin planchet crease on the rim right of the F in OF. Glossy chocolate and light olive brown. Nicely struck and quite attractive in spite of the obverse hairlines. Intermediate die state with a hint of swelling in the field left of the top of the cap and the reverse rotated 10 degrees CCW.

1797 C-3a R3 Low Head with Plain Edge VF20. Attractive glossy light chocolate brown with darker olive toning in protected areas. The surfaces are smooth, free of any trace of corrosion or verdigris. The only marks are a depression in the dentils at the top of the cap (as struck), another in the dentils before the neck (probably as struck), and a long nick across the top of the second 7 in the date. The date is bold and the legends are strong except for some strike weakness on the right side of the reverse. MDS, Manley state 2.0.

1797 C-3b R4 Low Head with Lettered Edge F12. Slightly sharper but the planchet is covered with very fine roughness that is partially hidden under a rather glossy patina of chocolate and dark olive brown. There are traces of microscopic verdigris on both sides, strongest in the field left of the date. Contact marks are limited to a few light nicks on the neck, a couple more hidden in the hair at the top of the head, and a pinprick left of the base of the H in HALF. MDS, Manley state 2.0, with a gentle horizontal bulge extending from the chin to the dentils. Struck slightly off center to K-9. The date is strong and the legends are complete. The edge letters are strong and easily readable, although they hang off the edge because they are too tall for the thin planchet. Not perfect but still a rather nice example of the popular "Low Head with Lettered Edge" variety. This is the Manley plate coin for die state 2.0 and this piece is mentioned in the Breen encyclopedia on page 188 as the sixth finest in his census. Finer than the Brobston coin sold in 1963 (Stack's FPL 1/1963). Overall equal to the R. L. Miles, Jr., example (Stack's 4/10/1969:9). Graded F15 by Roger S. Cohen, Jr. on 12/4/1982.

1800 C-1 R2. PCGS graded MS-64 Red & Brown. Lustrous slightly faded mint red mellowing to bluish steel brown. More than half the mint color remains on the obverse and 25% on the reverse. There are a few small specks of dark steel toning mixed with fine carbon on the obverse, including two specks on the neck and another touching the hair under the R in LIBERTY. The only sign of contact is a light nick slanting through the F in OF. M-LDS, Manley state 4.0. The curl left of the date is now open thanks to die polishing. A premium example with far more mint color than usually found on uncirculated early half cents. Our grade is MS63. The attribution and Whister provenance are noted on the PCGS label.

1802/0 C-1 R6 Overdate 2 over 0 with Reverse of 1800 G4. The obverse is slightly better while the reverse is a bit weaker. Glossy chocolate and steel brown. The surfaces are smooth and attractive for the grade, free of any notable signs of corrosion or verdigris. The only significant defect is an impressed arc on the reverse from the rim at OF down to the field above the A in HALF. Since most of the known examples were struck over cut-down spoiled large cents, it is reasonable to assume the impressed arc was either on the spoiled large cent or is an incomplete planchet cutter mark added when the half cent planchet was being cut from the spoiled cent. Other than the arc there are only a few light contact marks, the strongest of these being a rim bruise above OF. The date is complete and easily readable although the 2 is relatively weak, and the legends are readable except for OF and HALF CENT, which are faint or missing. The bust tip and the opposing area at OF were weakly struck, which is typical for this variety due to the die faces being out of parallel alignment. LDS, Manley state 2.0, with a small rust lump inside the top of the 0 in the date. Called G4 in the Spurlock census and CC#15 in the McGuigan list. A well-worn and imperfect example of this very rare and popular "Redbook" variety, but waiting for a perfect example would be an exercise in futility. Weight 76.5 grains.

Would grade a point or two sharper but the planchet is slightly wavy from being bent and carefully straightened. A shallow depression in the field at the top of the bust and a subtle swell in the field behind the portrait offer the best evidence of the bend and straightening. Otherwise this piece is choice. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0. Small lumps from die rust are visible between the I & B in LIBERTY and the curl left of the date is complete.

1803 C-2 R4 VF25. Glossy dark chocolate brown delicately mottled with small splashes of slightly lighter steel brown toning on the obverse. The surfaces are perfectly smooth except for traces of microscopic roughness in the field before the neck. A thin nick or pre-striking planchet chip in the center of the bust and a very thin nick on the nose are the only contact marks. A shallow depression, possibly caused by debris or grease on the die, covers much of the field behind the portrait. However, the planchet weight is only 77.4 grains, which is significantly lighter than the standard of 84.0 grains, so there is a possibility the planchet was thin in that area. Since the reverse is fully struck in the opposing area, the debris theory seems the more reasonable one. Regardless, this is a beautiful example of a tough die variety. EDS, Manley state 1.0, before the faint die cracks on the reverse become clear. Called CC#5 in the Mike Spurlock census. Noyes photo #73616. Weight 77.4 grains.

1804 C-2 R6 AG3+. Slightly sharper, especially on the right sides where the strike was stronger, but the surfaces are covered with fine to moderate roughness. No verdigris and only a few contact marks, including a small rim bruise above the O in OF. Glossy dark chocolate brown and olive, and the gloss helps offset the minor roughness. The strike is uneven, as usual for this variety, with significant weakness on the left sides from non-parallel die faces. While most of the designs are clear, the uneven strike caused the 18 to be faint, the 0 to be weak but readable, and the 4 relatively clear. The opposing legends at ITED STATES are faint or missing as well while AMERICA and the fraction display the details of a VG coin. Therefore assigning an overall grade to this piece is relatively difficult and some veteran half cent collectors have called this piece net G5. MDS, Manley state 2.0, with a clear die crack through the top of RTY to the dentils at either end. Reportedly 17 examples of this variety are known with only 3 graded better than Good.
