Lot 46
1796 C-2 R4 With Pole G5. Several points sharper but covered with uniform very fine granularity hidden under a glossy dark chocolate brown patina. No verdigris and the only marks are two small, light nicks over the O in OF. The date and legends are complete and easily readable except for weakness on parts of HALF CENT and the denominator. Not bad for a low grade 1796 half cent. Weight 77.2 grains.
Estimated Value $14,000-UP.
