Description
Important 1794 C-8, B-8 Half Cent, Fine 12
1794 1/2 C Small Edge Letters. Fine 12 Uncertified. C-8, B-8, R.5. Breen State IV. Manley State 2.0. EAC 12. The reverse is cracked from the border to the top of the second T in STATES.The reverse dies of C-8 and C-9 are similar. C-8 has an additional berry in the wreath below the F in OF. Slightly more plentiful than C-7, estimates suggest that 35 to 40 pieces are known today. The Ellsworth specimen is probably about 10th finest known.
Both sides have smooth light brown surfaces with faint olive overtones. Minor rim bruises are mostly inconsequential. Otherwise, the surfaces are exceptional.
