Description
1793 C-2 Half Cent, CAC-Approved XF40
Single Year, First Year Type Coin
1793 1/2 C C-2, B-2, R.3, XF40 PCGS. CAC. Bent Cap, Bunched
Leaves. The Liberty Cap, Bust Left type was limited to 1793, the
first year of coinage at the U.S. Mint. The present XF example is
much nicer than the typical survivor. Dr. Manley writes that C-2 is
"usually available only in low grades." Cohen-2 was the second half
cent variety. It shares an obverse die with Cohen-1, and a reverse
die with Cohen-3. The golden-brown and gunmetal-gray surfaces show
only light, even wear. Marks are trivial save for a slight reverse
rim knock at 1:30 and a brief diagonal line between the LI in
LIBERTY. The obverse exhibits tiny scattered depressions. The
overall quality is exceptional.Ex: The Gibney Family Collection / Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2021), lot 4968.(Registry values: P8)
