1793 Breen 2, Cohen 2 (R-3). 15 Leaves Right
|
VF-20 |
$3,500.00
|
Very Fine-20. Here is a perfectly centered specimen of this first year of issue for the Half Cent, featuring a Flowing Hair Liberty head facing left. Beaded borders are completely visible on both sides, if a trifle weak due to an overall surface graininess. Fields are generally medium golden brown, with areas of apple green patination mostly isolated to the central and upper obverse.... more |

1793 Br.2, C.2. Head l., Cap on Pole
|
VG-8 |
$1,500.00
|
Very Good-8. This coin saw its share of trouble-free circulation but shows considerable major detail of bust, wreath and legends. Close study under a glass reveals field porosity, some faint toned-over scratches and pits at the reverse center. Light tan surfaces show some darker brown in the wreath. |

1795 Br.4, C.4 (High R-3). Punctuated Date, Plain Edge
|
VF-20 |
$850.00
|
Very Fine-20 or virtually so. Date appears as '1,795', lowest leaf points are at 'N' and 'C' in the reverse wreath. This obverse is boldly detailed, but the planchet is somewhat dished so that the reverse legend and wreath are bold but HALF CENT is essentially invisible. Light brown fields highlight the lighter-colored reliefs. |

A delightful strike is complemented by rich brown with traces of faded red and a delicate silver sheen. Close study finds evidence of a very subtle cleaning long ago. |
