numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11880 Posts	Posted 01/09/2023 9:22 pm C-2, B-2 \| Close Date \| Breen dies: 2-A. \| Obverse with close date numerals. The 1811 Half Cent is the second rarest date of the Classic Head type. As a business strike, it is exceeded only by the 1831 (some might argue that the 1831 is a Proof-only issue, which would then elevate the 1811 to the top position). Both obverse and reverse dies appear to show die rust as is typical for this issue. $555. Thoughts? Thanks! IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

johnjkedel Pillar of the Community United States 594 Posts	Posted 01/09/2023 10:07 pm Agreed C-2. I think VG-8, close to 10. Looks like a small hit next to the first 1 in the date. Shouldn't affect the grade. Weak reverse - often seen. Nice example. Report this Post to the Staff

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 01/10/2023 05:21 am That is quite a nice example of the 1811 C-2, Close Date, R-2. I would grade it VG10. While it is correct that 1811 is a scarce year, low grade examples of C-2 are actually seen relatively often. This variety, in my opinion, only becomes scarce and very scarce at grades above F15.
