Description

Difficult O-103 1795 Half Dollar VF25
Ex: Jules Reiver Collection

1795 50C 2 Leaves VF25 NGC. O-103, R.5. The wreath has 10 berries in the left branch and just seven in the right branch. Only two of those berries appear beneath the right (facing) wing, one inside and one outside. No other reverse die in the series shares these characteristics. This is the early die state with minor cracks, but no evidence suggesting the later rim break on the reverse. A melange of light gray, lilac, sky-blue, and gold patination bathes each side. The design elements reveal nice detail, and are well centered on the planchet. All of the dentilation shows, except for that along the right obverse border. There are no offensive abrasions on either side. A worthy example of the widely pursued Flowing Hair type.
