1/2 Cent (sold for $475.0)
-87oKbzbiiI0AAAFLT5L6AgrC.jpg "1/2 Cent USA (1776 - ) Copper")
1795 C-1 R2 "Plain Edge" G5. "Plain Edge." This reportedly is the example listed in Gilbert as a separate variety (his #2) struck on a plain edge (unlettered) planchet of normal thickness and weight. Unfortunately, the edge lettering was simply removed from a normal lettered edge example, and this alteration fooled at least that one expert. Sharpness F15 or better, but in addition to the edge smoothing that removed all traces of the edge lettering there is moderate corrosion covering much of the planchet and some dull rim nicks as well, strongest at ICA in AMERICA. No verdigris. Slightly glossy steel brown. An impressive half cent in its own right, but important today for its connection to Gilbert and the error in his book on the series. Weight 103.6 grains. Davy #95.1c.1. Estimated Value $200-UP. Ex Ozzie Oswald 7/27/84. Categories:
