Lot 42
1795 C-6a R2 No Pole, Thin Planchet PCGS graded XF40. Choice glossy chocolate and olive brown. Smooth and very attractive, nearly flawless. The only mark is a tiny, very light rim bruise over the L in LIBERTY. Struck slightly off center to K-10.5 on a cut-down Talbot Allum & Lee Cent. The PCGS label says it was struck 3% off center, and that may be understated a bit. The TAL Cent undertype is clearly visible in the dentils off the bust tip, but it is not mentioned on the PCGS label. LDS, Manley state 2.0, showing subtle swelling near the dentils right of the Y in LIBERTY. A beautiful example. Our grade is VF30+, close to VF35.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
