Lot 133
1795 C-6a R2 No Pole, Thin Planchet G5. Double Struck with Rotation. Very slightly sharper, especially on the reverse, but there are faint hairlines covering much of the reverse, all blended into the glossy chocolate and steel brown toning. The date is weak but readable and the legends are clear. Double struck. Both strikes were reasonably well centered on the planchet but the second impression (the dominate strike) was rotated 10-15 degrees CCW relative to the first. The doubling is clearly visible on both sides, but it is not strong. Weight 83.6 grains. Davy #95.6a.40.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
