Early Half Dollars
1794 50C O-101a, T-7, High R.3, VG10 NGC. Tompkins Die State 1/3. Struck from a mid-to-late state of the reverse die, with the cracks somewhat blurry and only minimal sinking of the upper reverse. The obverse shows remnants of a few minor adjustment marks in the hair and at the rims. A golden sheen overlays silver-gray surfaces and deepens slightly at the borders. The obverse shows a bit of weakness at the lower right edge, but the date is fully visible and all of the motifs are well-defined for the grade level.
From The Estate of Terry Brand, Part V
