Lot 20
1795 C-3 R5+ Punctuated Date with Plain Edge VG10. Slightly sharper but this piece was lightly cleaned and retoned glossy dark chocolate and steel blending to dark olive. The surfaces are smooth and nearly flawless. A tiny pinprick left of the 5 in the date is the best identifying mark, and it is barely visible. MDS, Manley state 2.0, showing the usual strike weakness on HALF CENT while everything else is strong. The obverse is nicely centered on the planchet while the reverse is off slightly to K-8. The reverse is rotated 15 degrees CW. Noyes photo #73637. Weight 73.0 grains.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
Ex Richard August-Dr. Wesley A. Russell II-on consignment to Tom Reynolds 8/9/2002.
