1803 DRAPED BUST HALF CENT, C-3, VG/F ~ BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL EXAMPLE, TOUGH YEAR

Description: 1803 Classic Head Half Cent in Very Good to Fine Condition as pictured. C-3 Variety with the typical bulge in the first two numerals of the date. A beautiful premium example with pleasing brown patina, nice surfaces and bold features. A little crud build-up in the lettering recesses could be harmlessly removed by soaking in distilled water, but I chose to leave the coin alone. Tough year with a very low mintage of only 93,000 pieces! All have cents are rare with a total mintage of only 7,865,226 pieces over a 64-year period from 1793 to 1857! You will receive the exact coin pictured in the photos and described in the item title above. The high resolution photos provided are carefully selected to accurately represent the color, details and defects of the listed item. I do NOT use phone cameras, which are typically programmed to hide defects. Please don't hesitate to ask questions or request additional photos if needed. I want you to be comfortable with your purchase. Any comments or grades that I offer are well-researched and honest. However, I am not a dealer nor a grading service, so buyers should always verify this information and make purchases based on their own assessment of the listed item. In the real world, things happen to coins over time. They get dropped, scratched, nicked, stained, mishandled, incorrectly stored, corroded, cleaned and even doctored. The coins that I sell have been carefully chosen over the years, and most have been in my personal collection for some time. They are nice examples, but they are never perfect. If I list a coin with significant problems, they will be clearly visible in the photos and mentioned in the text. Rest assured, there will be no ugly surprises when the coin arrives. I am happy to combine purchases made within a 24-hour period to save you the additional shipping charges. Do NOT pay for the items until you have received the revised invoice. My listings are structured to allow buyers to purchase multiple items WITHOUT immediate payment. Thank-you for looking!Bob 0027425140
