1794 50C MS (PCGS#6051)

March 2020 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1794 Flowing Hair Half Dollar. O-101, T-7. Rarity-3. Fine-15 (PCGS). A pleasingly original coin, both sides exhibit blended olive, cobalt blue and light rose highlights to dominant pearl and dove gray patina. The strike is well centered with full denticulation around the borders. All design elements are boldly outlined and fully appreciable, the more protected areas retaining some sharper detail. The surfaces are overall smooth in hand, although accuracy does compel us to mention a concentration of both light adjustment marks (as made) and wispy pin scratches over and around Liberty's portrait. Tompkins Die Stage 1/2. While 23,464 1794 half dollars were struck, perhaps just 600 or so examples remain of the nation's premier half dollar issue, a figure that encompasses all known Overton varieties and grades. In comparison to offerings of the 1795 date, half dollars of 1794 are few and far between in the auction marketplace. When offered, circulated coins are often significantly impaired. The present Choice Fine example, with solid eye appeal and handsome surfaces, is a thoroughly appealing candidate for both half dollar specialists and early type collectors. PCGS# 6051. NGC ID: 24E6.
