Description

1794 O-101a Half Dollar, VF20
Well-Detailed and Appealing

1794 50C O-101a, T-7, High R.3, VF20 NGC. Tompkins Die State 1/5. The reverse die cracks are heavy on this latest known die state. The coin is well-struck and even with good detail remaining in Liberty's hair curls and the eagle's wings. The reverse rim is bold, while the obverse dentils are slightly weak around 4 o'clock, as usual. Faint remnants of adjustment marks are seen in the vicinity of Liberty's ear, but none are at the peripheries. The coin has warm golden-gray patina that leans toward the golden hue when tilted beneath a light. Smooth fields and problem-free surfaces promote strong visual appeal. The availability of O-101a compared to other 1794 half dollar varieties makes it appealing to the collector seeking a single coin of this date.
