Lot 46
1795 C-6a R2 Plain Edge without Pole on Thin Planchet VG7. Flip-Over Double Strike on 1794 Talbot Allum & Lee Cent with NEW YORK. Glossy steel brown and chocolate. Smooth and free of notable defects. The initial impression was slightly off center to K-10 and the second was properly centered after the planchet was flipped over. MERICA and the fraction from the first strike are visible below the bust and in the left obverse field. TY from LIBERTY of the initial strike shows clearly at D-S on the reverse. Very little evidence of the TAL Cent undertype remains visible, but ORK from NEW YORK is faintly visible at OF. Another excellent example of this type of multiple error strike. Weight 81.4 grains. Davy #95.6a.29.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
