Description

1795 1/2 C Lettered Edge, C-1, B-1, R.2, AU55 PCGS. CAC. Toned a medium to dark brown in color and quite even. The strike is sharp throughout, quite an event as so many 1795 half cents come with poorly struck devices. Excellent surfaces are the rule, and this piece is a delight to study. We do note a very faint scratch down Liberty's face below her eye, and for identification purposes a tiny planchet flake resides above the post of the E in STATES. A very scarce coin in this lofty grade, and certainly worth a strong bid for the quality of the planchet and general eye appeal.
