Choice VF 1795 A Over E Half Dollar, O-113a

1795 50C A over E in STATES, 2 Leaves VF35 NGC. Ex: Jules Reiver Collection. O-113a, R.4. The blundered reverse die, with the A in STATES cut over an E, is unique among the reverse dies of 1795 half dollars. It is equally as desirable as the similar E over A variety of 1814 half dollars, and the S over D in STATES variety of 1795 half eagles. The obverse die is also quickly attributed by Overton's "rough broken patch" between the 5 in the date and the final star. This later die state shows a faint die crack connecting the tops of LIBERTY and a series of shallow die defects from stars 12 to 15. The light cream-gray surfaces have surprisingly few marks, although the reverse field exhibits trivial verdigris.
