1795 O-104 Flowing Hair Half
Nearly Mint State Sharpness

1795 50C 2 Leaves, O-104, T-24, R.4 -- Cleaned -- PCGS Genuine Secure. AU Details.
Tompkins Die State 3/3. Overton-104 (Tompkins-24) is the sole use of the obverse die and an early use of the reverse, which also appears on O-105 (T-25) and O-103 (T-29). The M in AMERICA is boldly recut. The strike is deep and sharp throughout both sides, with high rims and full dentilation. Although the surfaces show an old, light cleaning, both sides have retoned nicely while residing in an old-time album or coin board. Circular bands of amber-gold and gunmetal-blue border toning encompass lilac-gray centers. The hair definition is particularly sharp on this coin, and the eagle displays sharp wing feathers as well as some feather definition on the breast and legs. Light field chatter exists around the eagle, while the obverse fields are mostly smooth. Hair-thin obverse adjustment marks are visible under magnification. The O-104 variety is scarce in Mint State and in high About Uncirculated condition.
