Pop 1 and Lowest at CAC. This 1795 Liberty Cap Half Cent offers a rare and appealing entry point into early American copper coinage—particularly for collectors of low-grade federal types or those pursuing the Cohen die variety series. The 1795 issue is historically significant, struck during a year of transitional design and metal content, featuring both lettered and plain edge planchets, and fascinating varieties like the “Punctuated Date” (C-2) and the “I for 1” date punch (C-1). This example, housed in a problem-free PCGS holder, displays rich medium-brown surfaces with olive-gray undertones, naturally worn but free of corrosion or major flaws. The word LIBERTY is clear, and the 1/200 denomination and wreath on the reverse remain bold despite the even, honest wear. With only 7 pieces graded AG03 by PCGS, and only 1 approved at CAC, this coin stands out as a scarce survivor. While CAC coins are eagerly sought after such as the Pop 1 VG08 PCGS CAC for $2,280 10/25 HA against a CAC value of $1,400, this piece offers exceptional historical value at a far more accessible level where coins in XF will command 5 figures. Ideal for lowball registries, early copper type sets, or collectors who value original, early U.S. Mint issues with character and authenticity.
