1/2 Cent (sold for $2100.0)
-goMKbzbihvcAAAFL0Zv6AgrB.jpg "1/2 Cent USA (1776 - ) Copper")
1794 C-1a R3 Liberty Cap, Head Right VF25. Incomplete (Tapered) Planchet. Repunched 179. Large Edge Letters. Breen Plate Coin. Attractive glossy chocolate and steel with frosty slightly lighter steel brown toning in protected areas. No roughness or verdigris, only small marks. Most of the marks are pre-striking planchet chips that didn't smooth out during the strike due to the uneven impression caused by the slightly tapered planchet. As a result the date is missing as is the opposing STATES while the remaining details are clear. Breen calls this a "Tapered Planchet" error, and this piece is plated to illustrate that type of mint error on page 470 of Walter Breen's Encyclopedia of United States Half Cents 1793-1857. The only other marks are a couple small planchet voids left of the L in LIBERTY and a dull scratch through the D in UNITED. LDS, Manley state 3.0. The die clashmarks are clear and the reverse is rotated 30 degrees CCW. An attractive half cent with additional cachet as the Breen plate coin for this type of mint error. Weight 91.8 grains (standard is 104.0 grains). Davy #94.1a.3. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex Stack's (Prock-Fenn Sale) 4/21/77:991. Categories:
