Description
Affordable 1796 With Pole Half Cent, C-2
1796 1/2 C With Pole Genuine PCGS. C-2, B-2, High R.4. The PCGS number ending in .97 suggests Environmental Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of a AG specimen that has been corroded and scratched.When Walter Breen published his Half Cent Encyclopedia, he assigned variety numbers 2a and 2b to the 1796 With Pole half cents. However, as a matter of practice most collectors only seek a single example, much like the present piece. Both sides have about half of the major details outlined, although the all important date is completely visible. The surfaces show considerable corrosion, with a few minor scratches that are extremely faint. This piece will prove an adequate representative of the date for nearly any collector. MRB Fair 2.
