1/2 Cent    (sold for $15500.0)

1793 C-2 R3 VF25. Frosty dark steel brown with lighter brown and tan toning in the most-protected areas. The surfaces are excellent but not perfect as there are microscopic pre-striking planchet chips in the obverse fields, mostly behind the portrait. No hint of corrosion or verdigris. The only contact marks are a small pinprick just right of the D in UNITED, a barely visible rim bruise at the adjacent E, and a small mark on the rim over the second T in STATES. A tiny planchet flake at the border beads below the fraction can also help identify this piece. Nicely struck EDS, Manley state 1.0 (the only known die state for this variety), with the reverse rotated 30 degrees clockwise from a head-to-foot orientation. The obverse is positioned slightly off center to the bottom and the reverse is a bit off to the upper left, but the border beads are complete around both sides. Another very attractive, well balanced 1793 half cent from this high-quality collection. Weight 114.8 grains. Estimated Value $9,000-UP. Ex Heritage, Orlando FUN Sale, 1/6/2004:2004-Jim McGuigan 11/2004-Ray Rouse, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldberg's 9/14/2008:4. Categories: The Whister Collection
