1794 Good details.
|
|
Campania Estate. The reverse displays four old pinscratches within the wreath, and this is side rotated about 90 degrees with respect to the obverse. Ebony-grey overall, and low-contrast as a... |

|
1794 (C-2a, R.2+) F/as described.
|
|
Consistent fine surface roughness affects both sides, but does not impair the cosmetic appeal to a major extent, as the texture is so fine as to have almost a frosty, matte appearance. Rather, it is... |

|
1794 (C-9, R.2) NGC XF-40.
|
|
Attributing C-9 begins with noticing that on the obverse, "4" almost touches the bust, and examining the reverse finds five berries on the left and four berries to the right, affirming the... |

|
1794 (C-1, R.3) NGC MS-61 BN.
|
|
"1794" was originally punched in too low and all four digits repunched in correct position, with the "9" displaying the most obvious remaining underdigit. The reverse displays A2 recut, the "2" a... |
|
| 119 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $575.00 |
|
1794 (C-2a, R.2) PCGS GD-4.
|
|
The date is low, and positioning of the upper leaves of the wreath match up with attribution for C-2, a more common 1794 half-cent. Obverse details are nearer the VG grade. About a third of the... |
|
| 120 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $3,400.00 |
|
1794 (C-2a, R.2) ANACS XF-40.
|
|
Digits in 1794 are rather close together, and T in CENT is noticeably leaning left for attribution of C-2a, which is also indicated on the ANACS holder. A strong die-clash causes wreath leaves to... |
|
| 121 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $1,750.00 |
|
1794 (C-3a, R.5) PCGS VG-8.
|
|
"79" are a little close and the leaf pair is right of "T" on the reverse, giving a C-3a attribution. The reverse is rotated nearly ninety-degrees. This is a rare die marriage, given an R.5 rating in... |
|
| 122 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $775.00 |
|
1794 (C-4a, R.3) PCGS GD-4.
|
|
Bulging of the obverse lower-left is nearly extreme for this example, leading immediately to recognition of C-4a. All design elements are well flattened due to heavy wear, yet the date is full and... |
|
| 123 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $775.00 |
|
1794 (C-4a, R.3) PCGS GD-6.
|
|
No bulge present, but identification of C-4 is aided by the irregular stepped positioning of digits in the date, and widely spaced denominator in the fraction. Details may slightly exceed the PCGS... |
|
| 124 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $1,450.00 |
|
1794, Die State 4.0 (C-4a, R.3) DGS F-12.
|
|
The obverse is distinctive for the large bulge at the lower left, leading to quick attribution as C-4a, with minor die cracks on the reverse. Steely iridescence glows from the rich brown patina, with... |
|
| 125 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $1,200.00 |
|
1794 (C-5a, R.4+) PCGS VG-10.
|
|
"79" are a little close and the reverse has a short fraction bar with "1" nearly touching the knot above, leading to attribution of C-5a. A markedly attractive copper despite much wear that has... |
|
| 126 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $7,750.00 |
|
1794 (C-6a, R.5+) VG/nice color.
|
|
C-6 is the scarcest of all die marriages for 1794 half-cents, attributed by a "79" that is too close in the date, and by the positioning of the upper wreath leaves with relation to "T". Evidently a... |
|
| 127 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $600.00 |
|
1794 (C-9, R.2) DGS GD-6.
|
|
"4" nearly touches the bust and there are four berries on the right branch of the wreath, with visual placement cues necessary to finalize attribution as C-9, since the left branch is too faint to... |
|
| 128 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $4,500.00 |
|
1794 (C-9, R.2) NGC XF-40.
|
|
"4" almost touches the bust, with five berries left and four berries right giving a C-9 attribution, and apparently an early die-state with no cracks. NGC did pass through an era when they did not... |

|
1794 "Normal Head Type" (C-2a, R.2+) VG.
|
|
Considerable wear has gone to some extent to help smooth the surfaces, which may have become corroded early in this coin's existence. At this time, the corrupted areas show mostly on the obverse as... |

|
1794 "Cent Style Wreath" (C-6a, R-5+) PCI VG-8/environmental damage.
|
|
1794 saw nine basic die-marriages for half-cents, with C-6 the rarest, and also the combination with the lowest overall condition census. Although the condition census begins with a single VF example... |
|
| 86 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $300.00 |
|
1794 (C-9, R-2) VG/damaged.
|
|
Moderate impact to the obverse has dented that side, and the resulting bulge on the reverse caused the denomination to wear away prematurely. The damage is most unfortunate since this coin has a... |
|
| 87 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $800.00 |
|
1794 "Normal Head" type, Close Date (C-2a, R-2+) F.
|
|
Lightly burnished, the beneficial effect of which has been to produce decently nice, smooth surface quality to the naked eye. Subsequent recoloring, whether by accelerated process or not, has... |

| 181 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $1,800.00 |
|
1794 "C-1a, R.3" half-cent, VF.
|
|
Wide repunching of the date and a "T" that leans to the right in CENT determine an attribution of C-1A, with the "large letters edge" attribution also confirmed. Often seen with rotated dies -... |

|
1794 SM Edge Letters C-4A NGC AU-53 BN.
|
|
I kid you not, the color of this coin looks just like a fresh, warm moist brownie that is right out of the oven. It has very strong details and no distractions. There are a few small ticks on... |
|
| 226 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006 | $1,550.00 |
|
1794 C-2a, R-2+. VF-30.
|
|
Clash marks from individual leaves on the reverse wreath are evident on this Manley Die State 2.0. The obverse depicts mostly smooth medium brown surfaces. While the reverse has the same appealing... |
