1793 C-3, B-3 Half Cent, VF35
Smooth Olive Surfaces

1793 1/2 C C-3, B-3, R.3, VF35 PCGS. All 1793 C-3 half cents are from a single state of the dies with a perfect obverse die and light die rust below TES on the reverse. Four varieties of 1793 half cents were married during the summer and fall of the year. The first copper coins, in fact, the first coinage issued for circulation at the Philadelphia Mint, included the Chain cents, Wreath cents, half cents, and Liberty Cap cents, produced in roughly that order from February through September 1793. This lovely 1793 half cent exhibits a few scattered dents and scrapes on its smooth olive-brown surfaces with excellent eye appeal. Our EAC grade VF20.
