Description
1795 C-4, B-4 Half Cent, MS63+ Brown
Breen Half Cent Encyclopedia Plate Coin
1795 1/2 C Plain Edge, Punctuated Date, C-4, B-4, R.3, MS63+
Brown PCGS. CAC. Ex: Missouri-Simpson. Manley Die State 2.0,
the usual die state for the variety. The obverse has a die bulge in
the right field with a faint die crack above. The reverse shows
delicate die cracks from TA in STATES into the wreath. HALF CENT is
extremely weak but still legible. Examples of this die pair with
just a little wear will not show the denomination at all. This
important piece serves as the large diameter plate coin on page 146
of the Breen Half Cent Encyclopedia, and also illustrates
Die State III in that reference.A fully lustrous and somewhat reflective Select Mint State piece, this Liberty Cap half cent exhibits light blue wisps over steel-brown surfaces with excellent eye appeal. A thin, fresh scratch slants down from the obverse border through ERT, and a hidden vertical hairline scratch is barely visible from the forehead to the neck. The weak central reverse detail left myriad planchet chips that were not struck out. Our EAC grade MS60. This is the only Mint State example that PCGS has been certified with the attribution, and one other example is graded MS62 Brown without the C-4 attribution (4/20).
