Attractive Choice AU 1795 Half Cent
C-1, B-1, Lettered Edge

1795 1/2 C Lettered Edge AU55 NGC. C-1, B-1, R.2. Manley Die State 1.0 without a bulge through the AME in AMERICA. A splendidly detailed and partially lustrous example of the widely sought Liberty Cap, Bust Right design type. Medium brown overall, although protected areas are chocolate-brown. The fields are uncommonly mark-free, and the portrait has only a few small ticks. Minor spots are noted within the E in AMERICA and on the obverse rim near 9 o'clock. Most 1795 half cents are corroded and/or heavily circulated, which makes a lightly circulated example highly desirable. MRB XF40.(Registry values: P6)
