Lot 17
1795 C-1 R2 Lettered Edge VF30. Sharper by at least 5 points but there are a few very light hairline scratches on the cap and a couple of these extend down into the field below. Otherwise the surfaces are quite nice, nearly choice. The best identifying marks are a tiny planchet flake over the right top of the 5 in the date and a small nick over the left side of the O in OF. Glossy medium brown fading to olive and chocolate in protected areas. A small splash of slightly darker reddish chocolate is located in the field before the face. Sharply struck E-MDS, Manley state 1.0 late or 2.0 early. The barest hint of a bulge shows at AME. The reverse is rotated 10 degrees CCW relative to a perfect head-to-foot die orientation. Struck on a thick planchet with large edge letters. Noyes photo #73648. Weight 110.2 grains.
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
