Lot 50
1795 C-6a R2 Plain Edge without Pole on Thin Planchet VG10. Struck on a 1794 Talbot Allum & Lee Cent with Edge Letters Showing. Slightly sharper but there are a few dull contact marks hidden in the curls and near the edge on the left side of the obverse, plus a couple more at the U and D in UNITED. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and attractive, free of any significant defects. Glossy chocolate and steel. Undertype from a 1794 TAL Cent is visible on both sides, and YORK shows weakly at the base of the cap. The half cent planchet is not perfectly round thanks to being cut too close to the edge of the TAL, and a couple letters of the TAL edge lettering show on the half cent over ST in STATES. The letters may be "RE" from STORE (PAYABLE AT THE STORE OF). Weight 79.6 grains. Davy #95.6a.38.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
Ex Tom Reynolds 4/22/94.
