1795 Liberty Cap Half Cent. C-5a. Rarity-3. Plain Edge, No Pole. Thin Planchet. VF-20 (PCGS).

Delightfully smooth and glossy olive brown surfaces with lighter brown patina on the high points of the design elements. As on most seen, the catastrophic die failure on the reverse has slightly raised the plane of the surface through the center, causing weakness toward the upper right of HALF CENT. On this coin, only the first couple of letters of each word are seen, with the others ghostly. A very pleasing example with exceptional eye appeal.

PCGS# 1018. NGC ID: 2225.

From Heritage's Dallas Signature Auction of March 2018, lot 3302.

Estimate: $ 2000
