Description

1794 C-5a, B-3b Half Cent, VF Details
Near the Condition Census

1794 Normal Head, Small Edge Letters, C-5a, B-3b, High R.4 -- Tooled -- NGC Details. VF. Our EAC grade Fine 12. 103.8 grains. Breen Die State I. Manley Die State 1.0. This is the usual die state according to Ronald Manley, while Walter Breen records the ANS example "and a few others." The obverse has been tooled and the reverse has planchet lamination. Described in the Breen Half Cent Encyclopedia as: "Interesting and unusual planchet cracks on the reverse." It is graded in that reference as Very Fine, and listed in the eighth spot in the Breen-Hanson Condition Census. Although our EAC grade assigned to this piece will place it outside the Condition Census, in no way will it diminish the importance of this example.
