No it isn't. I'd say it is a C-5. I think the corrosion is hiding the point of the leaf below the S. The reason I say it cant be C-1 is the leaf point below A3.
ebay coin
Is-This-A-1809-C1-Half-Cent-For-$35

C-1 from Missouri Cabinet
Is-This-A-1809-C1-Half-Cent-For-$35

On C-1 the point of the leaf is below the CENTER of A3, on the ebay coin it is below the center of the left foot.

The berry below the T in UNITED is in the wrong place as well.

On C-4 and C-6 the leaf extends WELL beyond the second S in STATES. (On C-4 it almost reaches the O.) C-2 and 3 share the same rev, Oo it the leaf below S2 reaches a little beyond the S, but what eliminates that die is the leaf point at A2. It barely reaches it. On the ebay coin and C-5, the only variety left, the point below S2 it SLIGHTLY beyond it, and the point below A2 is comfortably below the center of the left base.

Agree with Conder, not C-1 for reasons stated. Several reference points for A3 are wrong.

I agree with Condor and his very good explanation. One other good marker to distinguish the C1 from the C-2 (They share the same obverse with a closely spaced date) is the spacing between the U and ribbon end and the A and stem end at the bottom of the reverse. The spacing is wider on the C-1. That's what I first noticed on the one I found.
