Lot Description

1795 Liberty Cap Half Cent. C-5a. Rarity-3. Plain Edge, No Pole. Thin Planchet. Fine-15 (PCGS). The Fine detail wanes appreciably at the digits of the date and at the center of the reverse -- a function of the strike. Slightly mottled copper-olive patina is noted on both sides, with the appearance generally smooth for an early U.S. Mint copper that saw this amount of circulation. A thin, shallow planchet flaw shows above the denomination on the reverse is as made. All in all, this is a pleasing circulated example of the type, date and variety. PCGS# 1018. NGC ID: 2225.
