Lot 28
1795 C-5a R3 Plain Edge without Pole on Thin Planchet G5. Flipover Double Strike. Slightly sharper with a planchet void below the 17 of the second strike, as minted, and minor hairline scratches on both sides. Smooth surfaces, free of any trace of corrosion or verdigris. Glossy medium brown and light chocolate. Double struck, and the planchet was flipped over between those strikes. Both strikes were slightly off center causing the planchet to become egg-shaped in the process. Much undertype from the initial strike shows on each side, but only one date is visible. Above Ms Liberty's head on the dated side is a very clear, complete fraction from the other strike. Weight 82.3 grains. Davy #95.5a.4.
Estimated Value $600-UP.
