Description

1793 C-1 Half Cent, VF30
Single-Year Design Type

1793 1/2 C C-1, B-1, High R.3, VF30 NGC. The 1793 half cent is notable both as the only year with the head of Liberty facing left (most likely modeled after the Libertas America medal) as well as the first year of the denomination. This variety shows the forelock below IB, and a period follows the reverse legend. While the center of the reverse is usually weak, on this piece only the H and C show. Remarkably light in color overall with just the slightest accent of deeper color around the devices. A few light marks are seen on the obverse, but the reverse is generally clean for the grade.
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2006), lot 3009, where it sold for $8,625.
From The B & D Sanders Collection of Pre-1800 Type Coins.
