Lot 57
1795 C-6a R2 Plain Edge without Pole VG10. Double Struck on a Planchet with a Straight-Edge Clip. Glossy chocolate and steel. No corrosion or verdigris. Only a few light contact marks, including a pair of fine hairline scratches over AMERICA. Double struck. The offset between strikes is slightly more than a millimeter and is rotated about 5-10 degrees. The doubling is clearest along the profile from the face down to the bust tip. Extensive doubling is also visible on the reverse, especially at STATES that now reads "SSATESS." The outside edge of the straight-edge planchet clip over D-STA has a few light scrape marks that suggest the clip may not be mint-made, but that is difficult to determine with certainty. The date is weak but can be made out with some effort and the legends are complete. Weight 89.7 grains. Davy #95.6a.32.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
Ex Paul Munson-Roger S. Cohen, Jr., Superior 2/2/92:63.
