Description

1793 C-3, B-3 Half Cent, AU55
First Year of Coinage

1793 1/2 C C-3, B-3, R.3, AU55 NGC. The historically important 1793 copper coins were the first products of the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia that were intended for circulation. Four half cent varieties feature a bust of Liberty facing left, and that design was unique to the coinage year. The surfaces of this Choice AU 1793 half cent show trivial handling marks and minor scratches that are expected for the grade. Delicate blue-steel tones on the high points indicate light wear on this pleasing, nicely centered chocolate-brown example. Census for all varieties: 7 in 55, 32 finer (7/24).
From The L. William Libbert Collection.
