1794 C-1a, B-1a Half Cent, AU58
Large Edge Letters

1794 1/2 C Normal Head, C-1a, B-1a, R.3, AU58 PCGS. Fuhrman Die State 3 with double clash marks evident on both sides. There are important considerations regarding the 1794 C-1a half cent. First, the date is sharply doubled with the first entry too close to the border. This is the only 1794 obverse with a doubled date, and it was not reused for any other varieties. The head of Liberty is placed closer to LIBERTY than to the date, and that position is distinctive. This variety is also the only collectible variety that has large edge letters. All other varieties are normally encountered with small edge letters. The glossy steel-brown surfaces of this sharply struck near-Mint example show trivial marks that are consistent with the grade.
Ex: England; Andrew Lustig (11/2013); Bruce Gimelson.
