Lot 19
1795 C-2b R6+ Punctuated Date with Plain Edge G6. Lightly cleaned and retoned a rather glossy chocolate and steel brown fading to a slightly lighter shade of steel brown in the protected areas. The surfaces are smooth and display only a few small marks. The only notable one is a rim nick under the 5 in the date. LDS, Manley state 3.0. The bulge at AME is very strong and the dull die clashmark from the base of the F in OF down to the leaf below is weak but visible. Struck with the reverse misaligned to K-9 and rotated 15 degrees CW. A curved planchet clip (mint made) is clearly visible left of the cap and above NITE. The date is strong and the legends are complete except for some weakness on the left edge of the reverse caused by the die misalignment. A decent example of this very rare variety. Noyes photo #73618. Weight 69.3 grains, which is relatively light even for the new 84.0 grain standard associated with the plain edge version.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
