详细说明: Historic And Collectible 1795 Half Eagle 1795 Capped Bust Right Half Eagle. Small Eagle. BD-3. Rarity-3+. Fine-12 (PCGS). A delightfully charming representative of this treasured first-year issue. Warm honey gold patination is accented by teal and amber in the peripheries across both sides, complementing the impressively serene nature of the underlying surfaces. The devices remain profoundly bold for the assigned grade and have eluded even a single consequential disturbance. A scarce issue in all grades, but actually more available (and expensive to purchase) at the EF or finer grade range. Hence, this example is highly collectible without breaking the bank, and will serve quite well to represent this sought after type issue. 1795 is also the first year the half eagle denomination was struck, and this series has been widely collected for several generations. Finding a wholesome, mid grade example is nearly impossible of this issue, and no doubt several collectors will seek to capture this pleasing coin when it crosses the auction block. PCGS# 8066. NGC ID: 25ND.
