. This lovely example is nearly full red with slight mellowing on the obverse and splashes of steel-brown on the reverse. This Choice Mint State piece has a shallow rust lump on the I of UNITED, but it is not immediately obvious as on the proof example in this collection. Most students of the half cent series believe today that just one variety exists in die states without or with the lump on the I. That feature reappears on certain 1854 half cents.
