Coin Details
Description
A 1795 Washington Grate halfpenny with the "Small Buttons" obverse variety and reeded edge (RE). The smaller buttons on Washington's coat distinguish this from the large button variety. The buttons are one of the primary diagnostic features used to classify Grate halfpenny die varieties. The reverse retains the distinctive fireplace grate design common to all varieties in this series.
Rarity Notes
Moderately scarce. Small buttons are slightly scarcer than large buttons.
