Description
1795 Half Dollar, AU55
Among the Top Ten O-130 Half Dollars
CAC Endorsed
1795 50C 2 Leaves, O-130, T-8, Low R.5, AU55 NGC. CAC.
Tompkins Die State 3/3. Star 1 pierces Liberty's first curl (which
is widely open), and 95 in the date are widely spaced. The wreath
has its berries arranged 7-10, the only 1795 reverse configured as
such. This is a Choice About Uncirculated example, lightly toned in
pale-gray and pleasing steel-blue shades. The fields and devices
show only a few scattered, tiny marks throughout either side. The
coin is a bit softly struck -- especially at the rims, which are
weak at the obverse dentils -- the result of an uneven strike on
the screw press. Numerous areas of obverse die clashing and light
die cracks along the reverse legend at OF AMERICA confirm the late
die state. Still, the surfaces are remarkably smooth and attractive
for a Flowing Hair half dollar, with bits of golden luster
interspersed among the devices for exceptional eye appeal. This
coin sits just outside the Condition Census for the O-130 (T-8)
variety, where it is the only example among the top ten specimens
with CAC endorsement.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24E7, Variety PCGS# 39242, Base PCGS# 6052, Greysheet# 194078)
