Description

Elusive 1795 O-120 Half, XF Details

1795 50C 2 Leaves--Improperly Cleaned--NCS. XF Details. O-120, Low R.7. Obverse star 1 pierces Liberty's lowest hair curl, and the upper right point of star 2 is very close to the curl above. On the reverse, a leaf nearly touches the right base of I in AMERICA, and there is a 9-8 berry arrangement, with four berries under the right wing. C and A in AMERICA are noticeably recut. This example is bright from improper cleaning, with light-gray devices and grayish-tan coloration in the fields and near the peripheries. Wispy hairlines and shallow adjustment marks are evident on each side of the piece. The only noteworthy abrasion is a small one, located on and just to the right of the eagle's tail feathers.
From The Donald R. Frederick Collection of Early U.S. Coinage: Bayside Part II.
