Frosty steel brown with tan in protected areas, particularly on the obverse. Peeps of mint luster show in protected areas, especially on the reverse. The only marks are a couple thin nicks in the field above the hair ribbon and a small puff of darker olive brown toning on the bust. Just a light touch of friction on the highpoints of the devices and the eye appeal of this half cent is excellent. Scarce EDS, Manley state 1.0, Fuhrman state 1, with a light die crack arcing from the second T in STATES to the right side of the M in AMERICA (this crack occurred during the die's earlier use during the 1803 C-3 die pairing). Our grade is AU50. A high condition census example of a variety that is seldom found in grades above VF. Only a single mint state example is known, and it has an ugly stain on the obverse (Missouri Cabinet Collection, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 1/26/2014:59 which brought $21,850). The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. (The slab is scuffed on the reverse.)
