Description

1796 C-1, B-1 Half Cent, Fair 2
Rare No Pole Variety

1796 1/2 C No Pole, C-1, B-1, R.6, Fair 2 PCGS. The bust of Liberty is fully outlined with LIBERTY partially readable and the date faint but fully visible. The reverse detail is partially evident. All genuine 1796 No Pole half cents have a prominent bisecting die crack from 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock on the obverse. Due to the low grade of this example, that bisecting crack is not discernable in its entirety, but a trace of the crack remains visible at Liberty's upper lip just below the nose. This is an extremely important opportunity for the advanced collector to obtain a rarity in the early half cent series. Our EAC grade Fair 2.
From The Loma Linda Collection, Part II.
