Lot 49
1795 C-6a R2 Plain Edge without Pole on Thin Planchet F12. Struck on a 1794 Talbot Allum & Lee Cent with Edge Device Showing. Glossy chocolate brown. The only mark is a dusting of very fine crud at the top of UN in UNITED. Excellent eye appeal for the grade, just a few trivial marks from choice. Struck on a planchet cut too close to the edge of a TAL Cent. The resulting half cent planchet is clearly not round and much of the ornamental edge device from the 1794 TAL shows on the half cent. Another neat "error" from this remarkable collection. Weight 86.4 grains. Davy #95.6a.43.
Estimated Value $800-UP.
