Lettered Edge, With Pole. AU-58 (PCGS). This 1795 half cent is very nice for the assigned grade and has a legitimate claim to Mint State. The devices exhibit sharp to full detail with no evidence of actual wear. Welcome to Earlycoppercoins!  I am the owner, Shawn A. Yancey, and I am a member of ANA and Early American Coppers, EAC #4647.  I am pleased to offer the following item: From the Stacks auction of 03/21/18, where this coin was lot #10001 and described as: “Nearly Uncirculated 1795 C-1 Half Cent.  1795 Liberty Cap Half Cent. C-1. Rarity-2. Lettered Edge, With Pole. AU-58 (PCGS).  This 1795 half cent is very nice for the assigned grade and has a legitimate claim to Mint State. The devices exhibit sharp to full detail with no evidence of actual wear. The strike is well enough centered that the denticulation is complete around both sides, although it is narrower along the upper right obverse and reverse borders than elsewhere. Close inspection with a loupe is required to discern a thin vertical flan flaw from the lower obverse border through the tip of Liberty's bust and the pole directly above. The surfaces display light orange and olive-brown shades, with some bright golden-orange and lilac-blue undertones evident. This is a well preserved and visually appealing example of a challenging early U.S. Mint type that would do justice to an advanced collection.  Cohen-1 represents the first use of this obverse die in the production of 1795-dated Liberty Cap half cents. It was later reground by Mint personnel, removing the pole to the liberty cap in the process, after which it was used in the C-5a/5b and C-6a/6b No Pole die marriages. While a number of high-grade examples are known, including several Uncirculated coins, the typical 1795 C-1 half cent is well worn, if not also impaired from heavy commercial use. The present example was obviously set aside shortly after striking, and it ranks among the finest examples of both the type and variety that we have ever offered.  From the A. J. Vanderbilt Collection.  Provenance: From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) sale of the R.L. Miles, Jr. Collection, Part II, April 1969, lot 3. Lot tag included.”  So there are NO inserts or envelopes that remain with the coin now, and my consignor purchased this coin from Ken Goldman on 12/22/22.  This example compares VERY closely to the PCGS AU55 CAC example that Heritage just sold on 01/10/24 lot #3038 for $22,800.  The details are very similar on both coins, while the Heritage coin is more bluish-maroon while this example is more golden-green.  This coin is graded higher by PCGS as AU58, but lacks the CAC sticker, so I have priced this example more than 10% lower than that Heritage PCGS AU55 CAC example.   Thank you for checking out this item!  Make sure you add it to your watchlist, and also subscribe to my eBay store to receive newsletters and promotions!
