1795 1/2C LE, Punctuated Date, BN F12BN 认证号27266524, PCGS号1015

拥有者评论

Smooth copper surfaces and attractive for this grade level. Free of any deep or detracting field or device marks and quite pleasing for the collector. Usual die sinking at MER of AMERICA and HALF CENT is shallow. PCGS# 1015. From Kagin's sale of January 1979, lot 23; and our (Bowers and Merena's) Pittsburgh ANA Sale of August 1989, lot 1103.

The "punctuation" on Punctuated Date 1795 Half Cents looks like a long comma between the 1 and the 7 of the date.  While this seems like a perfectly normal place for punctuation, the "comma" was purely unintentional and is merely a die defect. The "comma" appears on the following 1795 die varieties:

Cohen 2a - Lettered Edge (the only variety that qualifies as the Punctuated Date, Lettered Edge)
Cohen 2b - Plain Edge
Cohen 3 - Plain Edge
Cohen 4 - Plain Edge

As can be seen above, the Cohen 2 variety bridged the transition from heavy weight (104 grains) to light weight (84 grains) planchets following a change in the law designed to reduce the cost of making Half Cents and Cents.  The light weight planchets were too thin to received edge lettering, so they were issued with plain edges.
