Manley Die State 3.0, Fuhrman Die State 3. A visually pleasing example for the grade with generally rose-brown patina on the obverse, the reverse more boldly patinated in olive-brown. The denomination HALF CENT is almost completely absent, a combination of die state and wear, but all other major design elements are discernible to bold. Moderately marked overall, although none of these features are singularly distracting during in-hand examination. This coin represents the latest die state reported for the 1793 C-1 dies, attributable by a rim cud on the reverse outside the letters F AME in the legend, mostly visible here despite one of the prongs of the NGC holder interfering. Writing in his 1998 reference <em>The Half Cent Die State Book: 1793-1857</em>, Ronald P. Manley describes this die state as "Very rare."
