1795 C-6a R2 No Pole, Thin Planchet VF20. Struck over 1794 TAL Cent. Ten points sharper but lightly cleaned and retoned glossy dark chocolate and steel with frosty lighter brown toning in protected areas on the reverse. No roughness or verdigris and only a few trivial marks, including some tiny rim nicks at the bottom of the reverse. Sharply struck on a planchet cut down from a 1794 TAL cent. Undertype from the TAL cent is clearest left of the fraction. LDS, Manley state 2.0. The swelling in the field near the dentils right of the Y is obvious. A very attractive piece that offers the eye appeal of a higher grade. Weight 85.4 grains. Davy #95.6a.45. Estimated Value $1,500-UP. Ex Don Valenziano 10/1/93.
