AU58 1795/1795 Two Leaves Half Dollar From the Legendary Eliasberg Collection

1795/1795 50C 2 Leaves AU58 NGC. Ex: Eliasberg. O-112, R.4. 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 the XF45 level. 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 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.
From The Essex Palm Collection.
