Description
1793 C-4, B-4 Half Cent, AU50
The Final 1793 Variety
1793 1/2 C C-4, B-4, Low R.3, AU50 NGC. This is the fourth
and final 1793 half cent variety produced in the opening year of
Philadelphia Mint coinage. The 1793 cents and half cents represent
great historical importance as the first coins produced at that
facility. Two obverse dies and three reverse dies were engraved for
the half cents, and those dies were used in four different
combinations. This example combined olive and light brown on both
sides. Trivial rim marks are noted below the date and over AMERICA.
The reverse shows many short flaws that remain from the planchet at
the time this coin was struck. Retained from the time of
manufacture, those flaws do not affect the grade. This is a lovely
example of our nation's first half cent for the historically minded
collector.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2222, Variety PCGS# 35012, Base PCGS# 1000, Greysheet# 80838)
