1805 C-3 R-4 PCGS F 15 Small 5, Stems Draped Bust Half Cent Coin 1/2c

PCGS authenticated and graded F 15. Steel brown and chocolate. The surfaces are smooth but the gloss is subdued thanks to a layer of natural oxidation. The only notable defects are a dull nick under the front edge of the eye and a minor spot of reddish carbon on a leaf below the first A in AMERICA. This piece just needs a proper brushing to bring out its underlying beauty. MDS, Manley state 2.0, with obvious swelling in the field before the portrait and the usual strike weakness inside the wreath.
