1795 C-6a R2 Plain Edge without Pole on Thin Planchet G6. Flip-Over Triple Strike. Very slightly sharper with a couple dozen very tiny rim cuts around the obverse. The surfaces are smooth and there are no other marks worthy of mention. Slightly glossy dark steel with lighter steel brown high points. The initial strike was 15% off center to K-3 and the second impression was almost properly centered. The third and final strike occurred after the planchet flipped over, and this third strike was positioned 5% off center to K-8. Undertype from two strikes of the reverse die can be found in the right obverse field. UNITED shows near the rim before the portrait and ED from another UNITED is located just off the bust tip. The bust line shows in the dentils above ATES. Additional traces of undertype can be found on both sides with extra effort. A neat multiple-error strike. Weight 78.9 grains. Davy #95.6a.17. Estimated Value $300-UP. Ex Ron Guth 9/4/82. Categories:
