1803 Draped Bust Half Cent. C-3. Rarity-1. Widely Spaced 3. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC.
The rich cappuccino hue that dominates this Choice AU jewel is accented by the faintest breaths of lilac luster haloing the design elements on each side. Handsomely bold throughout despite striking characteristics that are somewhat obscuring in this late die state. A few scattered imperfections are revealed by scrutiny, though the fields are left serene and nearing Mint State preservation to the naked eye. Technically and aesthetically superlative in nearly every respect. Manley Die State 5.0.
PCGS# 35134. BASE PCGS# 1060. NGC ID: 222E.
