Description
1794 C-2a Half Cent, AU53
Normal Head, Small Edge Letters
1794 1/2 C Normal Head, Small Edge Letters, C-2a, B-2b, High
R.2, AU53 PCGS. CAC. Menley Die State 3.0. The second-year
Cohen-2a is available in well circulated condition, but Dr. Manley
notes that "specimens are rare in the grades of Very Fine and
above." This is a bold tan-brown example with light wear apparent
on the curls, eyebrow, and other high points. Luster emerges from
Liberty's curls. A hint of granularity on the upper obverse field,
and a subtle spot near the U in UNITED, but the surfaces are
refreshingly unabraded. Although little discussed, 1794 half cents
have two major wreath styles, which Breen deemed the Heavy Wreath
(B-1 to B-3 and B-8 to B-9) and the Cent-Style Wreath (B-4 to
B-7).From The J&J and R&R Gobrecht's Raisinet Collection.
