Description
Lettered Edge 1795 Half Cent
C-1, B-1, AU55
1795 1/2 C Lettered Edge AU55 PCGS. C-1, B-1, R.2. Easily
attributed by the letter I in the date instead of a number 1; a
thick bar or pole near the bust truncation; and a small die lump
after the second A in AMERICA. This Choice AU example is
conditionally scarce for the variety, and Mint State pieces are
rare. The tan and steel-gray coloration is somewhat lighter than
usual, for this early type. The striking details are better struck
than average, and well centered on the planchet. Any serious
collector interested in assembling a high-grade set of early half
cents should consider this attractive and technically impressive
specimen. MRB XF45. Population: 10 in 55, 18 finer (4/11).Ex: 2008 ANA Auction (Heritage, 7-8/2008), lot 944.(Registry values: P6)
