Description

1793 C-1 Half Cent, VF Details
Affordable Example of America's First Half Cent

1793 1/2 C C-1, B-1, High R.3 -- Corrosion -- PCGS Genuine. VF Details. Steel-blue dominates the obverse, where the reverse is awash in sky-blue, mustard, and lime-green. Heavy corrosion is present throughout all of both sides, but the design elements are mostly still visible and the coin is still attributable as C-1, with multiple pickup points present. This offering presents an opportunity for an affordable example of this one-year type, which is doubly important as America's first half cent.
