Half Cents

Lot 1396
1793. Wreath reverse, vine and bars edge, Sheldon-8, Rarity 3-. PCGS graded EF-45. A choice piece for the grade, the obverse has lovely medium brown color, similar on the reverse, but there are some darker toned areas in and through the wreath. Clean surfaces for the grade, with only light scattered ticks from brief circulation. While the gem mint state examples of this date will certainly create a stir in the copper community, even a high grade coin like this deserves special attention. Wanted by many people, and seldom available in any grade approaching this select EF 45 example.
     Boldly struck by the dies, with the usual light reverse die crack, and well preserved.
     Estimated Value $4,000-5,000.
