Description
1795 Lettered Edge Half Cent
C-1, MS62 Brown
1795 1/2 C Lettered Edge, C-1, B-1, R.2, MS62 Brown NGC.
Manley Die State 2.0, with a bulge through AME. The second year of
the Liberty Cap type, but with an entirely different head than
appeared in 1794. The basic design is the same, but engraving
differences are enough that the 1795 to 1797 half cents should be
considered an entirely new design.Lustrous mahogany surfaces exhibit the usual scattered marks that often accompany high-grade pieces, and they are generally attributed to planchet roughness before the coins were struck. The fields are faintly reflective, and retain remnants of original mint red near some devices. This extraordinary piece will be a nice addition to the collection of a specialist or a type collector. Our EAC grade AU50.
