Lot 38
1795 C-6a R2 Plain Edge without Pole on Thin Planchet VG7. Double Struck, the Second Strike Slightly Off Center. Glossy chocolate brown and olive. Smooth and attractive for the grade, only trivial contact marks from choice. A very light rim nick over the E in STATES is a good identifying mark. Double struck. The first impression was centered on the planchet and the second was 5-10% off center to K-9. The complete date from the second strike is clearly visible but only the 9 and 5 from the first strike remain visible, and they are weak. The 9 from the first date is hanging down from the 5 of the second date. Some of the first strike is visible on the reverse as well with S OF showing (weakly) above and slightly to the right of the second S OF. Additional evidence of the first strike can be found on the reverse with some effort, but you get the idea. Weight 83.9 grains. Davy #95.6a.48.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
Ex Don Valenziano 6/12/95.
