Graded PCGS VF25, this example retains clear central detail with even wear appropriate to the grade. The legends remain legible, and Liberty’s portrait is well defined for a half cent that circulated during the Washington administration. The lettered edge—inscribed TWO HUNDRED FOR A DOLLAR—adds an extra layer of historical interest, as edge devices were still used to deter clipping and fraud.
Most compelling is the obverse lamination planchet error, a tangible reminder of early copper production flaws. This mint-made defect, caused by impurities or improper bonding in the metal strip, offers collectors an authentic glimpse into 18th-century Mint technology and elevates the coin beyond a standard example of the type.
