Famous 1796 With Pole Half Cent
C-2, Good 4
1796 1/2 C With Pole Good 4 PCGS. C-2, B-2, High R.4. The
more common of the two 1796 half cent variants, though still very
scarce in an absolute sense and bordering on rare. The year's
strikingly low mintage for half cents--just 1,390 pieces--has made
it celebrated among collectors of the denomination. This well-worn
example has deep brown surfaces with a touch of cinnamon. Both
sides show general striking weakness, as sometimes found, and
modest porosity is present at the margins, yet the eye appeal of
this piece is strong. For the grade, a noteworthy survivor. MRB
