Early Half Dollars
1794 50C O-104, T-11, R.5, Good 6 PCGS. Tompkins Die State 1/2. Likely an intermediate state of the obverse die, with the crack from star 3 to the curls not fully formed, yet faint die clashing exists on both sides. O-104 is a lesser-seen variety in comparison to O-101, struck latest in emission sequence for 1794 halves (likely in 1795). This is a smoothly worn example with attractive golden-gray toning and sharp definition for the assigned grade. A few light lines in the right field near the nose and a couple more above the date are faintly visible but do not distract.
From The Estate of Terry Brand, Part V
