Recut Date. MS-63 (PCGS). Lustrous bright greenish yellow gold with an average strike, slightly weak hair details over the ear and corresponding point of the reverse. The surfaces are very lightly abraded, unlike most known examples.
Some 1795 half dollars have a recut date, but these are not unduly elusive. Some 1795 pieces have three leaves under each of the eagle's wings, instead of the normal two, and these are scarce.
