1/2 Cent    (sold for $1700.0)

1795 C-2a R3 Lettered Edge VG10. Double Struck on Clipped Planchet. Attractive glossy chocolate and steel. The surfaces are smooth and nearly flawless offering excellent eye appeal. The best identifying marks are a tiny rim nick at BE in LIBERTY and a very tiny rim bruise over the A in STATES. LDS, Manley state 3.0, with strong swelling at AME and a faint die clashmark connecting the F in OF to the leaf below. The reverse is double struck, but the shift between impressions was less than a millimeter. Nonetheless, doubling is clearly visible on the wreath, legends, and dentils. In addition, the planchet is clipped at the top of the cap and over UNIT reaching slightly inside the dentils on both sides. The arc of this clip is consistent with a large cent rather than a half cent, so it is possible this planchet was cut from a spoiled large cent. Regardless, it's a beautiful double-error half cent. Weight 102.2 grains. Davy #95.2a.5. Estimated Value $600-UP. Ex Paul Munson-Roger S. Cohen, Jr., Superior 2/2/92:45. Categories:
