Lot 26
1795 C-4 R3. VF-30. Choice frosty medium brown and light chocolate. Great eye appeal except for the usual weakness in the centers. The only contact marks are a faint hairline scratch from the lips to the cap and a blunt rim nick opposite the lips. The softly struck area in the centers displays some of the usual microscopic planchet chips that didn't strike out completely. HALF CENT is weak and a few letters are missing completely, which is characteristic of the late die state. The areas closer to the rim on both sides are sharply struck and display very little wear suggesting an even higher grade. LDS, Manley state 2.0. Weight 83.5 grains.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,500.
