1/2 Cent    (sold for $5000.0)

1795 C-6a R2 Plain Edge without Pole on Thin Planchet EF40. Double Struck over Talbot Allum & Lee Cent. Very attractive glossy medium brown with reddish chocolate toning in protected areas and frosty mint luster showing on both sides. The only defect is a speck of carbon in the field at the lips. Double struck on a cut-down TAL cent, and the TAL undertype shows over UNITED. The initial strike was slightly off center to K-5 while the second was centered on the planchet but rotated about 25 degrees CW relative to the first. The 795 of the date from the initial strike shows off the bust tip and LI from that same strike shows clearly on the top of the cap. Much of the legend from the first impression is visible on the reverse as well, including the denominator of the fraction between the second denominator and the adjacent U. Another outstanding half cent error with superb eye appeal. Weight 75.0 grains. Davy #95.6a.2. Estimated Value $3,000-UP. Ex Nate Smith, Stack's 3/9/73:31. Categories:
