1795 C-6a R2 Plain Edge without Pole on Thin Planchet F15. Chatter Strike Slightly Off Center on a Talbot Allum & Lee Cent. Five points sharper but there are specks of reddish verdigris near the dentils before the face, a corroded area on the rim over ES in STATES, a spot of reddish verdigris below the L in LIBERTY, and another left of the U in UNITED. The remainder of the planchet is smooth and the only significant contact mark is a light scratch arcing through the base of the 1 in the date. Struck slightly off center to K-9.5 with fine doubling on the right edges of the letters of LIBERTY (caused by die bounce). The planchet was cut from a TAL Cent and undertype shows in the dentils before the nose. The half cent planchet was cut too close to the edge of the TAL Cent and "TH" from the edge lettering is clearly visible on the edge of the half cent right of the Y in LIBERTY. The "TH" is from "THE" which could be from a 1794 TAL Cent (edge lettered "PAYABLE AT THE STORE OF") or from the 1795 version (edge lettered "WE PROMISE TO PAY THE BEARER ONE CENT"). Weight 80.2 grains. Davy #95.6a.35. Estimated Value $700-UP. Ex Bowers & Merena 9/14/92:15. Categories:
