1795 Two Leaves Half Dollar, AU50
O-121, Y Over Star

1795 50C 2 Leaves, Y Over Star, O-121, T-2, High R.4, AU50 PCGS. Tompkins Die State 2/1. Die clash from the eagle's wing appears in the field right of Liberty's profile. The Y in LIBERTY is cut over a star, the remnants of which remain visible and aid in variety attribution. According to Tompkins, one near-Mint example qualifies for the O-121 Condition Census, and Stephen Herrman reports that an AU50 was last offered in 2010, attesting to the conditional rarity of this 1795 die marriage.

This well-struck Flowing Hair half dollar enjoys strong detail on the portrait, wings, and even on the breast feathers, which are faintly visible. All the peripheral elements are similarly strong. Mostly light silver with golden and gunmetal accents at the rims. Adjustment marks occur around the upper-right reverse border.
