- 1794 Liberty Cap Half Cent. C-5a. Rarity-4+. Normal Head. Small Edge Letters. Fine-12 (PCGS).
This is a handsome and well balanced example of a scarce and conditionally challenging die pairing. Both sides are warmly toned in deep copper brown, and the surfaces are overall smooth with only a few minor marks visible to the unaided eye. The strike is nicely centered on the planchet with all devices bold except for the letters UN in UNITED, which are soft, yet discernible. With most survivors of the 1794 C-5a half cent heavily worn and/or impaired, this pleasing Fine is sure to please advanced variety enthusiasts. Manley Die State 2.0, described as "very rare" by Manley (1998).
Provenance: From the Dr. James McCallum Collection. Acquired June 9, 1976.
PCGS# 1003. NGC ID: 2223.
