Description
Early State 1794 C-4a, B-6b Half Cent, VF30
1794 1/2 C Small Edge Letters. VF30 NGC. C-4a, B-6b, R.3. Breen State III. Manley State 2.0. EAC 25. A rare early die state before developing the obverse die bulge behind the hair curls that is nearly always present. Light obverse and reverse clash marks are visible, but even these are subtle.The 1794 C-4 die combination ranks among the more commonly seen varieties, but most of those discovered in recent years are lower quality. Only about a dozen examples are known finer than VF.
A wonderful piece with smooth medium brown surfaces that exhibit only the usual faint handling marks, consistent with the grade. A small patch of crimson patina remains behind the hair curls, forming a tiny corrosion patch in that area.
Ex: Set of Half Cents (9/1995); Douglas F. Bird (5/1997); Mike Demling (1/1998).
