Superior Choice AU 1795 Half Cent Lettered Edge, Punctuated Date 1795 Liberty Cap Half Cent. C-2a. Rarity-3. Lettered Edge, Punctuated Date. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. The present example sits comfortably in the mid-range of the condition census, offering an incredibly attractive complexion that certainly approaches Mint State quality in many respects. The faintest hint of friction is found across the high points and a trivial mark is seen at Liberty's neck under magnification. Uniform satiny luster blankets the fields and complements the glossy texture of the devices. The strike is impressively sharp for the variety, with strong definition to Liberty's hair and the reverse denomination. A natural planchet striations through the second T of STATES provides a convenient pedigree marker for tracking this through future collections. The eponymous "punctuation" between the first two digits of the date is bold and accompanies similar scattered die chips and cracks in the peripheries. With approval from CAC and just 3 graded finer by PCGS with this attribution, Early American copper specialists will be sure to recognize the immense significance of the present offering! PCGS Population (C-2a variety only): 1; 3 finer. PCGS# 35070. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
