1795 Liberty Cap Half Cent. C-4. Rarity-3. Manley Die State 2.0. Plain Edge, Punctuated Date. EF-40 (PCGS). The deep golden-brown surfaces are smooth and unmarked to the naked eye, and low magnification does little to alter the viewer's first impression. Weak at the centers as is common for this variety, but certainly not elsewhere, as the sharpness equals the grade throughout. The popular variety with an obverse die flaw that resembles a comma between the 1 and 7 of the date. Choice for the grade. Manley Die State 2.0: "Obverse: The bulge in the right field becomes more prominent. Central hair detail is usually gone. An extremely faint crack (visible only on the finest specimens) extends from the rim near 2 o'clock into the field above the top of the bulge. Reverse: HALF CENT is weakly struck and usually illegible. The crack from the base of the first T in STATES to the outer leaf is heavy. A weak crack extends diagonally from the base of A in STATES through the left wreath branch, ending in the field above F in HALF. The first crack branches faintly midway between T and the outer leaf, extending through the leaf below A in STATES and joining the second crack at the base of the highest leaf. A weak parallel crack extends from the top right of F in HALF through the right branch, eventually reaching the left base of R in AMERICA. The usual state." PCGS# 35080. Provenance: From the Michael Demling Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) sale of November 1995, lot 19. Collector envelope with attribution and pedigree notes included.
