Lot 377
1795 S-78 R1 Plain Edge F15. Heavyweight Planchet with Curved Clip. Ten points sharper but there is a patch of very fine roughness at the top of the cap and LIB with similar roughness covering the bottom of the reverse. Traces of reddish verdigris are nestled into protected areas around the fraction and wreath ribbon. No significant contact marks. Glossy dark steel and olive, the obverse displaying more gloss than the reverse. A curved planchet clip is located opposite the face and above MER. In spite of the minor clip, the planchet weighs 182.4 grains versus the standard of 168.0 grains for the thin planchet large cents. E-MDS, Breen state II.
Estimated Value $600-UP.
