Description
Late State 1794 O-104a Half, VF20
1794 50C VF20 ICG. O-104a, R.5. This piece represents an intermediate die state between O-104 and O-104a. The obverse appears perfect with no evidence of the die crack that appears on O-104a, or any other die defects. The reverse has a small rim break over ER of AMERICA, but it does not touch either letter.Both sides have light to medium gray surfaces with lighter silver color on the devices, and deeper gray near the borders. A few faint surface grazes and hairlines are visible, mostly on the obverse, along with the usual minor handling marks that are expected at this grade level.
Probably fourth or fifth finest known among all states of the O-104 die combination. The Overton Census shows two AU50 coins and one XF40, followed by a couple pieces that grade just Fine 15. This piece is equal to fifth best in Steve Herrman's auction survey, although at least two of the finer pieces have serious imperfections.
Haseltine-2; Beistle 2-Ca; Overton-7; Hilt 1-B; PCGS# 6051, 39205; Encyclopedia-4552.
