1794 C-1a Half Cent, AU55 CAC
Large Letters Edge

1794 1/2 C Normal Head, C-1a, B-1a, R.3, AU55 PCGS. CAC. Manley Die State 3.0, the usual state with extensive obverse and reverse clash marks. Frosty medium brown and olive surfaces are interrupted only by minor abrasions on each side of this otherwise attractive example. Both sides are clash marked with an obverse die crack through the tops of IBE. The C-1 die marriage is one of the three most plentiful 1794 varieties, and the high bust position makes it a distinctive variety. The date is prominently recut on this obverse die.
