1795 C-3 R-5+ PCGS VF 25 Punctuated Date Liberty Cap Half Cent Coin 1/2c

Description

PCGS authenticated and graded VF 25.
Rather frosty medium brown and light chocolate blended with a few small spots of lighter tan toning including one on the 9 in the date and several more on the upper right part of the reverse. The planchet is smooth except for a few microscopic planchet flakes in the field off the end of the pole and at the opposing area around OF, as struck. The only contact mark worthy of mention is a dull, tiny dent at RI in AMERICA. Extremely rare EDS, Manley state 1.0, with HALF CENT complete. This is the Manley plate coin for the variety and die state 1.0 in his 1998 reference on the half cent series. Weight 87.0 grains.
