1793 Half Cent PCGS MS64BN
Cents and half cents were the first coins struck for circulation by the US Mint. This is 1793 Liberty Cap Half Cent is from the first year of issue for the denomination and is a one year only type. The design of Liberty with her cap, facing left, was only used in 1793. The mintage for this first-year-of-issue half cent is only 35,334 examples, making it a tremendous Absolute Rarity. This specific example is one of only 6 graded by PCGS or NGC in Mint State 64 BN condition with just 10 graded higher. With such a minuscule mintage and low MS64BN population, this coin is not only an Absolute and Condition Rarity, but it is also one of the finest known.
