- A wonderful example of this first year of type. After a three year hiatus, the mint began striking half cents again in 1800, the first time since 1797. This is an exceptionally CHOICE and nearly full RED Draped Bust half cent! Truly a beautiful example of this early type coin. Struck from Breen's Die State IV of the C-1, B-1 die pairing, the die state usually seen. While Walter Breen noted a number of red uncirculated examples from a 1930s hoard, the modern Population Figures do not bear this out. The brilliant red luster radiates boldly throughout on both sides. The brown in the RB designation is limited to a light mellowing and olive overtone, mostly on the reverse. A small contact mark in the right obverse field, above the bust line. Every detail is sharply struck, with no serious weakness anywhere. The eye appeal is remarkable, and truly a delight to behold. PCGS 9, NGC 5, CAC 5. While the two most recent examples brought $10,800 and $12,000 (August and March 2020 respectively); this coin sold for $19,200 in the January 2018 FUN Auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $15,000. Just four are graded finer, and this one is much REDDER than the MS64 RB we sold in July 2017 (ex Missouri Collection) for $31,725. Bid accordingly, this CHOICE coin is worthy of a very strong bid and placement in a wonderful date or type set. Cert. Number 85765991 PCGS # 1052.00
