Description
Elusive 1794 C-5a, B-3b Half Cent, AU55
1794 1/2 C Small Edge Letters. AU55 PCGS. C-5a, B-3b, R.4. Breen State I. Manley State 1.0. EAC 30. Struck from perfect obverse and reverse dies showing no evidence of any clash marks. Breen mentioned an example in the ANS collection "and a few others," implying that it is a rare die state. Manley called it the usual die state.The obverse die was used to coin 1794 C-3, C-5, and C-6 half cents. Of the three, C-5 is the most plentiful, totaling about 100 coins in all grades.
Possibly a Condition Census example, or very nearly so, with only three clearly finer XF or AU coins. Attractive medium olive surfaces are intermingled with darker steel-brown color. A few minor handling marks and insignificant patches of corrosion and erosion are present on each side.
Ex: Stephen Fisher (6/2002).
