Lot 39
1795 C-5a R3 No Pole, Thin Planchet VF30. Ten points sharper but microscopic ticks are scattered over both sides, none significant but too many to ignore. The best identifying marks are a small rim nick left of the cap, a tiny rim bruise before the forehead, a fine vertical scratch between the A & L in HALF, and a dull rim nick at UN in UNITED. In addition the field behind the portrait is covered with microscopic pre-striking planchet chips with similar planchet chips in the opposing area at D-ST. Attractive glossy light chocolate brown with slightly darker steel brown toning on the highpoints. EDS showing hard, slightly reflective fields. Weight 82.9 grains.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
