Early Half Dollars
1794 50C O-101a, T-7, High R.3, Fine 15 PCGS. The obverse is easily identified by the first star that pierces the lowest curl, and on the reverse by the low placement of the D in UNITED and the counterclockwise rotation of T1. This later die state is characterized by a die crack that travels through the F in OF to the rim, and another crack that connects the leaf tip to S2. O-101 is the most available of the 1794 varieties and it is also the only variety of the year that is occasionally available in Uncirculated. This is a pleasing, problem-free example that is a bit softer struck in the centers than around the margins. Pale gray patina deepens gradually toward the margins. The center of the reverse has numerous crosshatchings of die adjustment marks, as struck.
