Half Cents
1795 1/2 C Plain Edge, No Pole, Thin Planchet, C-5a, B-5a, R.3 -- Cleaned -- PCGS Genuine. AU Details. Ex: Jon D. Lusk Collection. Manley Die State 1.0 as always for this die pair with reverse cracks that appeared in that die's previous marriage with C-4. The lower left obverse and upper left reverse, opposing points on the coin, are weakly defined on this example, as they are on many others from this die pair. In the Half Cent Die State Book, Ronald Manley writes: "The border weakness on the reverse is exactly opposite the obverse border weakness, indicating that the strike, not regrinding of the die, was responsible."
The thin planchet C-5a half cents are relatively plentiful in grades through VF. Examples that grade XF are scarce, and those that grade AU or Mint State are rare. Although PCGS elected to state that the present piece is cleaned, that is not obvious. The glossy surfaces exhibit lovely mahogany and chestnut-brown toning.
Ex: James R. McGuigan (8/1982); Dr. Wallace Lee (Superior, 5/2003), lot 108. From The Jon D. Lusk Collection.
