Early Half Dollars
1795 50C 2 Leaves, A Over E in STATES, O-113a, T-14, R.4, VF35 NGC. Ex: Jules Reiver Collection. Tompkins Die Stage 5/2. The blundered reverse die, with the A in STATES cut over an E, is unique among the reverse dies of 1795 half dollars. It is equally as desirable as the similar E over A variety of 1814 half dollars, and the S over D in STATES variety of 1795 half eagles. The obverse die is also quickly attributed by Overton's "rough broken patch" between the 5 in the date and the final star. This later die state shows a faint die crack connecting the tops of LIBERTY and a series of shallow die defects from stars 12 to 15. The light cream-gray surfaces have surprisingly few marks, although the reverse field exhibits trivial verdigris.
Ex: Jules Reiver Collection (Heritage, 1/06), lot 22494; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2008), lot 1423.
