***Auction Highlight*** 1793 C-1 B-1 Liberty Cap half cent 1/2c Graded vf+ By USCG. Highlight of the entire Auction - The First Half Cent Variety The Cohen-1 die pair is identified as the first half cent variety struck at the Philadelphia Mint in July 1793. An extremely important historical issue with a survival estimated at 250 to 300 pieces in all grades. The total mintage for 1793 half cents was 36,103 coins, and each of the four varieties are nearly equal in rarity, with Cohen-1 slightly scarcer than the other three varieties. This piece combines olive and chocolate-brown patina with slight surface roughness on both sides, but without large marks or other imperfections. The strike is nicely but not perfectly centered. An Outstanding addition to the finest collection, and a piece of American History.
