|
1795 Two Leaves (O-102) Good.
|
|
Campania Estate. As something of a "shielded hair" obverse subtype, the tresses display much more detail than expected of G-4, although the balance of the definition shows strong wear, particularly... |

|
1795/1795 Three Leaves (O-111, R.4+) ANACS F-12.
|
|
Ronald Zink Early Type Collection. One of THE most wildly repunched dates in the entire American compendium, a full "1795" shows clearly a half-digit beneath the final punching of the corrected date,... |

|
1795 (O-113, R.3) Good/tooled.
|
|
New World Estate. The centers of both main devices have been smoothed with a fine-pointed tool, presumably to disguise unwanted graffiti or damage whose extent can no longer be ascertained. The coin... |

|
1795 (O-116, R.4) Good details/repaired.
|
|
New World Estate. A strong date and generally complete rims will elicit a technical grade of about G-4, although the coin undoubtedly has extensive overall wear. Unfortunately, the center of... |

1795 (O-104) NGC F-12.
|
|
The entire surface exhibits the appearance of attractive, original pewter-tan color everywhere, with pleasing honey iridescence emanating widely from the fields. Some small crumbles of light, silvery... |

|
1795 Small Head (O-128, R.5+) GD-4.
|
|
While the Redbook does not call out a "small head" type separately from others, the 1795 O-128 is popular for that motif. We have here a remarkably attractive and unquestionably original example that... |
|
| 792 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013 | $2,000.00 |
|
1795 2 Leaves (O-110, R.4) PCGS F-12.
|
|
Smooth, pleasant surface quality shows the effects of strictly honest wear, with scarcely a mark to detract from the gently contrasted two-tone color scheme. A single shallow mark flung above the... |

|
1795 (O-121, R.4) VF details/obv scratch.

|
1795 ANACS VG-10 details/scratched.
|
|
What appears at first to be a series of scratches along the obverse upper left border is actually the remnant of as-struck adjustment marks, and nothing else seems deserving of the questionable ANACS... |
|
| 681 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011 | $1,353.00 |
|
1795 (O-102, R.4) two leaf. PCGS VG-8.
|
|
Detail is almost picture-perfect for VG-8, the grade assigned by PCGS. A bit of weakness along the obverse right rim and reverse left is probably compensated by stronger definition within Liberty's... |
|
| 682 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011 | $1,600.00 |
|
1795 (A over E, O-113a, R.4) PCGS VG-10.
|
|
O-113 is very popular for the blundered first vowel in STATES, and this later die-state includes a die crack connecting LIBERTY, as well as some die chips strewn about the last few stars. ... |

|
1795 (O-110, R.4) NGC F-12.
|
|
Fields exhibit an aspect of denim-steel not often seen on well worn flowing-hair half-dollars, since this attractive feature usually resides on coins of higher grade. Because the devices are more... |

|
1795 (O-110, R.4) NGC XF-40.

|
Pleasing definition in Liberty's tresses and throughout the eagle's wings verifies the NGC XF-40 grade. Surfaces display a reasonable rendition of original quality, with dusky bronze tone dominating... |

|
1795 (O-117, R.4) PCGS F-12.
|
|
1795 O-117 is a very scarce "two leaves" variety instantly identified by a defect line within the right side of the "Y" in LIBERTY. This example is further distinguished by exceptionally vintage... |
|
| 683 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $1,350.00 |
|
1795/1795 Recut Date, 3 Leaves (O-111, R-3) PCGS Fair-02.
|
|
Exceptionally ironic is the PCGS statement on the insert of 1795/1795 "recut date" when in fact, the date has entirely worn away! The vaguest trace of a "5" is all that can be seen. Fortunately,... |
|
| 684 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $2,100.00 |
|
1795 Small Head and Bust (O-126, R-4) PCGS GD-6.
|
|
A pleasing, original coin that surprises viewers with the display of velvet-blue album tone, entirely unexpected in this low a grade. Somewhat stronger than the PCGS G-6 assessment, appearing to your... |

1795 (O-109, R.4) ANACS VF-20 Details, repaired - whizzed..
|
|
Subjected to unimaginable horrors, it is nigh impossible to proclaim all of the ill treatment suffered by this poor and unassuming early half dollar! The sponge-porous surfaces may have resulted from... |
|
| 686 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $4,000.00 |
|
1795 Small Head and Bust (O-126, R.4) VF/questionable color.
|
|
O-126 is given only an R.4 rarity, yet appears on the market less frequently than that would suggest, undoubtedly because of type collectors wanting a "small head" representative. A layer of murky,... |
|
| 482 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $1,750.00 |
|
1795 Double cut date (O-112, R.4) F-15, reverse rim ticks.
|
|
It is fortunate that the mint decided to repunch the date for the obverse die of the O-112, as the original position would have left it in an unsightly position adjacent to the rim. The under-digits,... |

1795 O-108 Flowing Hair half-dollar, NCS "VG details"
|
|
As something of a "shielded hair" variety, the O-108 often seems to display more hair detail than what is implied by the grade. This coin has been thoroughly scrubbed, yet the multiple evels of grey... |
|
| 508 | The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007 | $675.00 |
|
1795 O-111 R4 “3 leaf”, VF detail, holed, ex-jewelry, net G-4.
|
|
This early half-dollar certainly has seen it’s share of abuse, hence our extremely conservative net grade. Rim damage, in conjunction with a hole, lends credence to the theory that this coin was once... |

|
1795 O-126 R4+ Small Head VG-8.
|
|
The portrait is whimsically smaller than that of other die marriages for 1795, resulting in the popular "small head" moniker used by collectors of early half dollars. Unlike some others with this... |
|
| 510 | The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007 | $3,200.00 |
|
1795/1795 O-112 R5 VF-30.
|
|
This example looks surprisingly similar to the plate coin in the Overton book, though of course, it is not that exact coin. Patinated in smoky grey tones, especially about the peripheral areas. ... |

|
1795 O-109 VG-10.
|
|
A difficult type to locate, regardless of grade. It has possibly been retoned and shows a rich blue-pewter around portions of the peripheries. Liberty and the legend remains strong. |

|
1795 O-110, R-4 VF-25.

|
1795 2 Leaves, O-119, R-4. NCS Genuine.
|
|
This early half dollar is unhesitatingly diagnosed as O-119. This is because of the extended die bulge observed on its obverse above star 15, and since it is the only 1795 variety that has the lowest... |

1795 O-108a, R-4. VF-25.

1795 O-119, R-4 PCGS VF-35.

1795 O-117, R-6. VF-30.
