Date: 1795Choice frosty light steel brown with generous traces of original mint red remaining on both sides. A sharp, lustrous piece that has great eye appeal. The only notable marks are a speck of carbon in the hair below BE, a faint hairline on the cheek from the left corner of the eye down to just below the earlobe, a thin diagonal nick in the field near the dentils off the chin, and a small puff of darker bluish steel toning (not carbon) below CA in AMERICA . Late die state, Manley state 2.0, Fuhrman state 2. The obverse fields are frosty rather than reflective as they were in the early die state, and the bulge at AME is clear. Our grade is MS60. One of the finest known examples of a 1795 Lettered Edge half cent, and it comes with a wonderful provenance that can be traced back unbroken for nearly a century. Listed in the Breen/Hanson census on page 130 in the 1983 reference Walter Breen's Encyclopedia of United States Half Cents 1793-1857. Weight 108.3 grains. The attribution and Missouri Cabinet provenance are noted on the PCGS label.35067.63/27234613Ex Howard Rounds Newcomb (valued by Newcomb at $20.00) 1935 (privately)-B. Max Mehl 1935 (privately)-Col.
