Early Half Dollars
1795 50C 2 Leaves, O-102, T-26, R.4 -- Repaired -- PCGS Genuine. VF Details. Tompkins Die State 1/1. The repair indicated on the holder is an attempt to fill an old piercing at the reverse edge near OF. The surfaces of this otherwise pleasing Flowing Hair half display natural, old-silver color and sharp definition for the VF level. As always on the O-102, feather detail on the eagle shows premature wear due to low rims, and the obverse is about five points finer as a result. Numerous small marks are scattered across both sides.
