Lot 95
1795 C-5b R4 Thick Planchet AG3+. Glossy chocolate brown and steel. Smooth and nice for the grade, close to G4. The only marks are a thin nick or short scratch at the bottom of the hair strands left of the date and a thin planchet void at the rim over RI in AMERICA. The date is faint but readable with some effort. Struck on a planchet cut from a spoiled large cent or other large cent stock. Weight 115.9 grains. The standard for the normal thin planchet version is 84.0 grains, and examples struck on cut-down cent planchets are known to range in weight from 98 to 123 grains.
