Here is the latest in my attempt to complete what I call my" 1795 Half Cent, Varieties and sub-Varieties, on a poor man's budget, Collection"
A Cohen 5-A (a re-worked Obverse Die #1, no pole, and a C reverse) Rarity 3 ( 300 estimated survivors)
The Obverse die on these was re-ground to the point where the pole is no longer visible and usually the date, especially the 5 is often times very weak or gone ,except in fine or above.
The Reverse die was cracked from the start and sunk leaving HALF CENT weak or non existent
I usually do not buy encapsulated coins but this one was reasonable due to scratches on the obverse.
Also the date is wonderful for a' very good' with a strong' 5

nice pics and presentation.
i don't have your passion for the half sisters but i do appreciate you do and share them here!
what is the running count now?
This is # 11 of the 13 Varieties , sub-Varieties, and errors that I have been able to determine that exist.
My #12 is being evaluated and will be unveiled when it is determined for sure to be, what I believe it to be, hopefully in a few weeks.
Wow... tough project... and thanks for the pictures and description. Cheers, RickO
