Early Half Dollars
1795 50C 2 Leaves, Second S Over D, O-129, T-7, R.5, Fine 15 PCGS. CAC. Tompkins Die State 1/3. Both half dollars and half eagles from 1795 show a similar die cutting error of the second S of STATES over a mispunched D, a curious happenstance for such a significant blunder. Among the half dollars, the O-129 S/D variety is slightly more scarce than many of the 31 die pairs. This example is a Choice Fine coin, with reddish-tan toning on the raised devices and smooth, olive-gray fields. The obverse shows a few small marks but it is smooth and attractive. The reverse, too, retains nice eye appeal with some muted adjustment marks primarily near the rims. CAC endorsed for quality.
