Eliasberg's Repunched Date 1795 Half
O-112, Two Leaves, AU58
1795/1795 50C AU58 NGC. O-112 prime, R.4. Although somewhat
obscured by the adjustment marks, the obverse has a light vertical
die crack from the border to hair, passing through the outer left
serif of the R. A second faint die crack joins stars 3 through 6.
Light clash marks are also evident in the obverse fields, while the
reverse appears to be perfect.A lightly toned Condition Census example of this well known variety. NGC has certified 17 examples of O-112, the two finest as AU50 and AU58. PCGS has encapsulated 14 pieces as the 1795/1795 variety, none above XF45. This piece is certified without a variety notation, and undoubtedly other O-112 examples reside in undesignated NGC and PCGS holders. Nonetheless, the present piece is clearly among the finest known, and it was also cataloged as such for its appearance as lot 1667 in the April 1997 Bowers and Merena catalog of the legendary Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection. This near-Mint half dollar has partial cartwheel luster, and the surfaces are remarkably smooth aside from the mint-made adjustment marks and clash marks that frequent the obverse. Sharply struck save for the eagle's belly and perch.
We believe this piece is the second finest known example of the Repunched Date half dollar variety, behind an almost-unbelievable Gem from the famous St. Oswald Collection.
