Lot 136
1795 C-6a R2 No Pole, Thin Planchet VG7. Double Struck with Small Offset. Sharpness VF20, perhaps slightly better on the reverse, but the planchet displays very fine corrosion and the obverse was lightly smoothed to minimize the roughness. No verdigris or notable contact marks. Rather glossy olive brown and dark steel with lighter chocolate toning on some of the highpoints. Double struck very slightly off center to K-9. The shift between impressions was very small, perhaps a millimeter at most, but the doubling is sharp and obvious, especially on the cap and at the fraction. The date now reads "117995" although it takes a glass to make out all the numerals. Weight 77.7 grains. Davy #95.6a.37.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
Ex Bowers & Merena 1/6/94:165.
