Description

1793 C-1, B-1 Half Cent, VF Details
The First Variety

1793 1/2 C C-1, B-1, High R.3 -- Environmental Damage -- PCGS Genuine. VF Details. Based on a study of the emission sequence, this is the first 1793 half cent variety ever produced at the Philadelphia Mint in their first full year of coinage. Type collectors who seek first-year of issue coins should also look for these earliest varieties from the debut coinage of each design. While the reverse shows insignificant roughness, the overall appearance of this piece is excellent. The strike is nicely centered, the surfaces are free of consequential marks, and those surfaces are chocolate-brown with areas of maroon and emerald patina.
