Lot Description

1795 Liberty Cap Half Cent. C-4, B-4. Rarity-3. Manley Die State 2.0. Plain Edge, Punctuated Date. VF-20 (PCGS). A very satisfying example with good detail, save for the denomination which is often very shallow on this variety. Deep brown surfaces with areas of yet deeper toning. The surfaces are microscopically granular in places but not to the point of any distraction.
