Description
Pleasing 1795 C-2a, B-2a Half Cent, Fine 12
1795 1/2 C Lettered Edge, Punctuated Date Fine 12 Uncertified. C-2a, B-2a, R.3. Breen State III. Manley State 3.0. EAC 12. Intermediate between Manley State 2.0 and 3.0. The bulges of State 2.0 and the clash mark of State 3.0 are both present, while the usual die crack through the tops of RIC is extremely faint.In the last quarter of 1795, the Mint produced 25,600 half cents, believed to be the Lettered Edge coins, C-1 and C-2a. All remaining 1795 half cents, the Plain Edge coins, were apparently struck in 1796. The collector who desires a true 1795 half cent struck in that year, must limit his choices to the Lettered Edge coins.
Smooth medium brown surfaces with few imperfections on either side, other than a few faint hairlines and typical handling marks expected for the grade. A small corrosion spot below the L of LIBERTY is the only blemish of note.
Ex: D. Schafer (1980); Mike Demling (1/1998).
