Description

1793 Half Cent, C-1, B-1, VF30
Smooth, Problem-Free Surfaces

1793 1/2 C C-1, B-1, High R.3, VF30 NGC. Ex: Hilt Collection. Manley Die State 2, as usual. The die has weakened around HALF CENT on the reverse, but the rim cud along the top of F AME has not yet formed. Cohen-1 is the first half cent variety struck, and is typically seen in middle to lower circulated grades. Coins of this issue were produced on planchets punched from sheet copper, with a specified weight of 104 grains, although in practice the weight varied slightly from 95 to 111 grains.

This representative is a pleasing example for the grade, with smooth chocolate-brown surfaces that are free of the distracting environmental impairments that typically affect this issue. HALF CENT is weak due to die fatigue, but the remainder of the central devices are well brought up. The border beading is complete around the reverse, and grows only slightly weak from 8 to 10 o'clock on the obverse. Our EAC grade VF20.
From The Liberty USA Collection, Part 2.
