Description
1795 C-1, B-1 Half Cent, AU58
Lettered Edge
1795 1/2 C Lettered Edge, C-1, B-1, R.2, AU58 PCGS. Mint
records suggest a limited production of 25,600 half cents that were
struck in the fourth quarter of 1795 prior to President
Washington's order for a weight reduction of the copper coins.
Those were the Lettered Edge coins including the present near-Mint
example that displays golden and steel-brown surfaces with splashes
of sky-blue toning. These 1795 C-1 half cents represent a slight
majority of the Lettered Edge coins as the other variety, C-2a, is
rated R.3. The remaining production of 1795-dated half cents at the
lower weight standard and with a Plain Edge were produced in
1796.From The B & D Sanders Collection of Pre-1800 Type Coins.
