1794 1/2 C AU55 PCGS. C-9, B-9, R.2. Die State 3. This
<B>1794 1/2 C AU55 PCGS.</B></I> C-9, B-9, R.2. Die State III. This is the "High Relief Head" obverse, with the 4 in the date almost touching the bust. The reverse is of the "Heavy Wreath" type, with five berries on the left branch, and four on the right. The dentils to the left of the fraction have merged together into a minor rim break (barely discernible in the holder), which along with the crack through the tops of IBERTY and another from the rim at 9 o'clock through the cap, is indicative of this later die state.<BR> This Choice AU example displays pleasing semi-glossy light brown surfaces. The dentilation exhibits the usual boldness on the obverse, but is weaker on portions of the reverse. A few minute marks are noted on Liberty's cheek and neck. Overall, a pleasing early half cent. EAC 35.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
