1793 C-4, B-4 Half Cent, AU50
Ex: Eliasberg

1793 1/2 C C-4, B-4, Low R.3, AU50 PCGS. Ex: Eliasberg. This important AU 1793 C-4 half cent is housed in a generation 3.1 green-label holder that was discontinued in September 1998. Since the Eliasberg sale was held in May 1996 with no certified coins, the certification date was between June 1996 and September 1998. As usual for nearly all coins in the Eliasberg Collection, this piece was conservatively graded in the 1996 auction.

For the present cataloger, this coin brings back memories of a great American coin collection, and provides the second opportunity to catalog this important coin. The Eliasberg Collection included three 1793 half cents, and the present piece is the first of those that has appeared in a Heritage auction since the collection came to market nearly 30 years ago. This tan and chocolate-brown example is nicely detailed and well centered with a trace of wear on the highpoints. A splash of maroon patina identifies this piece.
Ex: Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr.; Eliasberg Estate (Bowers and Merena, 5/1996), lot 395.
From The Siesta Key Collection.
