Description

1794 C-9, B-9 Half Cent, AU53
Rare Early Die State

1794 1/2 C High Relief Head, C-9, B-9, R.2, AU53 PCGS. Manley Die State 1.0, with the usual obverse clash marks but no trace of the die crack that extends from the border into the Liberty cap at 9 o'clock. The High Relief Head obverse is a distinctive type that is known with three reverse dies on C-7, C-8, and C-9. The latter is the only common variety of the trio, and an important piece for type collectors and specialists. This AU example has splendid olive-brown surfaces with a few trivial marks of no consequence. Our EAC grade XF40.
