Description
1793 C-1, B-1 Half Cent, VF35
Important Late Die State
1793 1/2 C C-1, B-1, High R.3, VF35 PCGS. Ex: Missouri
Cabinet Collection. The initial coinage of the Philadelphia Mint in
1793, the first year of full scale production, consisted of 1793
half cents and large cents. Silver coins were introduced in 1794
and gold coins in 1795. Four half cent varieties were minted in
1793 from combinations of two obverse dies and three reverse dies.
Most scholars agree that the 1793 C-1, B-1 half cents were the
first of those four varieties, therefore, America's first half cent
coins. This golden-brown example has a well-centered strike with
full beaded borders. Both sides are golden-brown with maroon patina
on the obverse. A prominent rim break over F AME is found only on
the latest die states, and those are die state rarities in the
series.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2222, Variety PCGS# 35003, Base PCGS# 1000, Greysheet# 80835)
