Lot 130
1795 C-4 R3 Punctuated Date, Plain Edge G6. Glossy light to medium chocolate brown. There are a few faint hairline scratches hidden under the attractive glossy toning, but overall this piece is near choice for the grade from a post-minting perspective. However, there is a stray planchet cutter impression at opposing places on both sides plus a couple obvious indents in the planchet, one on the obverse and two on the reverse. These marks are consistent with a piece that was struck more than once or struck on a planchet that was cut down from a spoiled cent, but I can find no definitive evidence of either event. LDS, Manley state 2.0. The bulge in the field before the portrait is clear and the central part of the reverse is weakly struck. The date is clear and the comma between the 1 & 7 is visible. Weight 76.5 grains. Davy #95.4.8.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
Ex Don Valenziano 9/10/1996.
