Description
1794 O-101a Half Dollar, VF35
Rarely Offered Finer as a Date
1794 50C O-101a, T-7, High R.3, VF35 NGC. CAC. Star 1
pierces the lower hair curl. On the reverse, a die crack runs
through the F in OF and another extends inward from the rim between
the D S in UNITED STATES. Overton-101 (and its late die state
variant, O-101a) is the usual variety encountered when one locates
a 1794 Flowing Hair half dollar. However, the present coin is in
uncommon condition. The 1794 halves circulated extensively. It is
unlikely that more than a handful of coins were initially set aside
for numismatic purposes. The majority of the surviving population
resides in VF or lower grades, suggesting that there was a point at
which the 1794 became an object of numismatic desire and coins
began to be plucked from circulation. Examples are rare any finer
than VF.This Choice VF coin is the top of the ladder for what most enthusiasts can hope to acquire. There are a few faint adjustment marks along the lower obverse border, but the coin has otherwise undisturbed surfaces with old-time olive-gray and russet patina. A visible eye on the eagle is representative of the relatively little wear the coin has. Additional sharpness is seen in the eagle's wing and Liberty's hair curls. Census: 18 in 35, 42 finer (6/17).
