Description

Well-Detailed 1794 Half Dollar, O-101a, Fine 12

1794 50C Fine 12 PCGS. O-101a, R.4. The obverse is easily attributed by star 1 piercing the lowest hair curl, along with the positions of stars 2 and 15 in relation to the second curl and bust tip, respectively. The reverse shows 21 berries, also an easy attribution, with a die crack from the rim to the left of the first S into a pair of leaves. This later die state shows a sharply angled crack from the edge, through F and turning through a leaf pair, above the berry, and faintly to the last S. This is a solid Fine coin with considerable detail remaining in Liberty's hair and the eagle feathers. The surfaces are smooth and there none of the often-seen adjustment marks. The dentilation is bold on the reverse and portions of the obverse. The attractive color is pinkish-gray. A nice first-year example.
