Lot 122
1795 C-1 R7+ Lettered Edge G5. Thin Planchet with Lettered Edge. Slightly sharper but the fields and protected areas are covered with very fine roughness. No marks or verdigris. The date and legends are complete and easily readable. Somewhat glossy chocolate and steel. The planchet is thinner than normal and weighs 95.9 grains versus the standard of 104.0 grains. The edge lettering is complete and strong, although some of the letters hang off the planchet due to the reduced planchet thickness. Similar to the preceding lot and the thin planchet 1794 C-9 examples offered earlier in this sale. Weight 95.9 grains. Davy #95.1b.4.
Estimated Value $600-UP.
