1795 C-5b R4 Plain Edge without Pole on Thick Planchet VF20. Struck on a Spoiled Large Cent Planchet. Slightly sharper but covered with tiny planchet chips mixed with microscopic pitmarks scattered over the obverse. These defects are individually insignificant but there are too many to ignore. The best identifying mark is a tiny spot of reddish verdigris at the dentils above the Y in LIBERTY. Glossy light chocolate brown with specks of darker olive brown toning on the reverse. The date is weakly impressed, as usual on the thick planchet strikes of the variety, but it is readable and the legends are clear. Struck on a planchet cut from a spoiled large cent, although there is no visible undertype from the cent on either side. The half cent planchet was cut a bit too close to the edge of the cent planchet leaving a clearly out-of-round half cent. The cent edge remains intact from K-7 to K-10, and it is not lettered. Weight 109.3 grains. Davy #95.5b.6. Estimated Value $800-UP. Ex Chris McCawley 4/27/91. Categories:
