Description

1795 O-112 Recut Date Half, AU55+
Condition Census Specimen

1795/1795 50C AU55+ NGC. O-112, R.4. The engraver originally placed the date low, merged with the denticles, and corrected his mistake in the normal centered position between the border and bust, creating a distinctive and boldly recut date. This advanced die state has clash marks in the obverse and reverse fields, with a heavy obverse die crack from the upper border through the E to the hair, ear, and center dot. Another crack joins stars 3 through 7.
This scarce variety is popular with collectors and rarely seen in high grades. An amazing Gem from the St. Oswald sale appeared in our February 1995 auction, and a slightly finer AU58 specimen carries a provenance from the famous Eliasberg Collection. The present specimen appears to be the third finest survivor from the die pair.
Only a trace of high-point wear is evident on this lustrous example. Both sides are nicely detailed with an excellent strike and full borders. Trivial surface marks are visible beneath lovely gold and sea-green toning.
