Lot 150
1795 C-6a R2 No Pole, Thin Planchet Fair-2. Struck over 1794 TAL Cent. Sharpness VG10 or slightly better but there is a rather large, ugly hole through TY and ICA. The area around the hole is depressed and there is a dent in the dentils over the R in LIBERTY. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and attractive. Glossy light chocolate brown with dark olive toning around the hole. The date and legends are strong (except where obliterated by the hole, of course). Struck over a 1794 TAL cent. The "NT" of CENT is clearly visible over D-ST. Weight 74.1 grains. Davy #95.6a.56.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
Ex Clem Schettino 5/10/2008 (during EAC Convention).
