Lot 39
1795 C-6a R2 Plain Edge without Pole on Thin Planchet F15. Double Struck. Ten points sharper but there is a smoothed rim dent left of the top of the cap. The smoothing was done with excellent skill and could be missed quite easily. The only other mark on smooth, choice surfaces is a tiny rim nick at the L in LIBERTY. Glossy chocolate brown offering excellent eye appeal in spite of the rim bruise. LDS, Manley state 2.0. The subtle bulge near the dentils right of the Y is easily visible. Double struck. Both impressions were slightly off center to K-9, the first one a bit more off target than the second. Evidence of the two strikes is clearest on the bust tip and on the right side of the reverse where AM from the first strike shows under the AM of the second. Additional evidence of the first strike is clearly visible on the reverse. Weight 85.6 grains. Davy #95.6a.19.
Estimated Value $800-UP.
Ex Tony Terranova 5/9/86.
