<B>1808 1/2 C AU58 NGC.</B></I> C-3, B-3, R.1. The second 8 in the date is formed by two impressions of the 0 punch normally used within the fraction denominator. This in turn implies that the die engraver lacked a suitable 8 punch, and that the working die already possessed the 180 in the date when it was removed from storage. This satiny ebony-brown half cent is well struck except for an upper right portion of the wreath, which has a faint spot and an associated cluster of minor abrasions. In an older NGC holder. Census: 10 in 58, 1 finer (4/07). EAC 35.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
