Description
1793 Flowing Hair Half Cent, VF25
Popular C-1, B-1 First-Year Issue
1793 1/2 C C-1, B-1, High R.3, VF25 NGC. CAC. Both Roger
Cohen and Walter Breen assigned variety number one to this die
marriage, correctly identifying it as the first of four 1793 half
cent varieties coined at the Philadelphia Mint. Many type
collectors seek only first year of issue coins, and it is
important, wherever possible, for those collectors to also seek the
first variety of the first year. In this case, it is also the first
variety of the denomination.This lovely two-tone specimen exhibits light tan devices with deeper steel-brown field toning. The surfaces are pleasing with no marks of consequence. Our EAC grade Fine 15.
