Description
1793 C-4, B-4 Half Cent, AU50
Final First-Year 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. The 1793 half cent is a single-year type, since the
portrait faces right beginning in 1794. Two obverse dies and three
reverse dies were engraved for the 1793 half cents, and those dies
were used in four different combinations. This example displays
olive-brown toning throughout. 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
technical grade.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2222, Variety PCGS# 35012, Base PCGS# 1000, Greysheet# 80838)
