Description
Sharp 1794 O-101 Half Dollar, XF Details
1794 50C --Plugged, Improperly Cleaned--NCS. XF Details. O-101, R.3. The most common 1794 half dollar variety is easily recognized by the combination of two features: the lowest star pierces the lowest curl just left of center, and a reverse die crack connects the border to the wreath about midway between the D and S. The population of the O-101 variety may be as high as 80% of the total population of all 1794 half dollars. Committing these two die characteristics to memory will significantly reduce the time and difficulty of attribution, with the bonus that any example not meeting these requirements is immediately recognized as a scarce or rare variety.This example has slightly rough light gray surfaces with hints of peripheral gold toning. Both sides are hairlined, with evidence of tooling or smoothing, in addition to the plug.(Registry values: N7079)
