Description
First Year 1794 Half Dollar, VF35, O-106
1794 50C VF35 NGC. O-106, R.6. This first-year example displays mottled, brownish-gray surfaces, with areas russet, green and blue noted on both sides. There are some superficial marks in the fields under the toning, and a few minor adjustment marks. No fewer than 10 die marriages were used to produce the low mintage of just 23,464 half dollars dated 1794, illustrating the difficulties encountered by the early Mint; using primitive coining machinery and frequently forced to shut down in the face of mechanical breakdowns and outbreaks of yellow fever in Philadelphia.From the Bayside New York Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
