Early Half Dollars
1794 50C O-101a, T-7, High R.3, VF25 NGC. Tompkins Die State 1/3. Only 23,464 Flowing Hair half dollars were struck in 1794, with 11 die varieties known for the date. Star 1 pierces the lowest curl near the center on this coin, and there are 21 berries, arranged 10 left and 11 right on the reverse, identifying the popular O-101 variety. A faint die crack through the F in OF and the leaves identifies the late die state O-101a. This impressive VF25 example retains some interior detail on the central portion of Liberty's hair and all major design detail remains intact. The pleasing surfaces are blanketed in shades of lavender-gray and golden-brown toning and a shallow scrape below star 8 is the only abrasion of note. Hints of original luster shine through the patina.
From The Terry Brand Estate, Part IV.
