Lot 664
1795 C-2a R3 Punctuated date with Lettered Edge G6. Very slightly sharper but there are myriad fine old scratches on the portrait and in the center of the reverse. All these scratches are light and blend perfectly into the glossy dark olive brown and chocolate patina. The surfaces are decent and reasonably smooth, but a glass reveals uniform extremely fine granularity under the gloss. No verdigris or other marks. The date and legends are strong except for the usual weakness at AME from die swelling associated with the late die state. The edge lettering is complete and clear. LDS, Manley state 3.0. Weight 104.7 grains.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
