Description
1796 No Pole Half Cent, C-1
Ex: Spangenberger
1796 1/2 C No Pole, C-1, B-1, R.6, PCGS Genuine. The PCGS
number ending in .97 suggests Environmental Damage as the reason,
or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not
gradable. In our opinion, the piece has the details of a Fine
specimen that has been severely corroded. Even in this walnut-brown
example's heavily corroded state, the signature horizontal die
crack bisecting the obverse remains clear. Ownership of any 1796 No
Pole half cent long has been considered a mark of a notable
collection in that series, as the variant is very rare regardless
of condition. Our EAC grade AG3.Ex: Hank Spangenberger Fixed Price List (1/1969); John Whitney Walter; Richard Shimkus; John Whitney Walter; Auction '84 (Stack's, 7/1984), lot 1004; John Whitney Walter; Bowers and Merena (9/1992), lot 1022; Dr. Wallace Lee; Superior (5/2003), lot 118; "CVM;" Mitch Larochelle.
