1/2 Cent    (sold for $3800.0)

1795 C-6a R2 Plain Edge without Pole on Thin Planchet F15. Double Struck, the Second Strike Off Center. Sharpness VF30 but covered with uniform fine granularity on all but the high points, which are smooth. No verdigris, and the only mark is a tiny pit over the D in UNITED. Partially glossy dark olive brown with light chocolate toning on the devices. Double struck. The initial strike was properly centered but the planchet was partially removed from the press before being struck a second time 20% off center to K-8.5 and rotated about 140 degrees. The result is an error with an impressive look displaying two complete versions of LIBERTY and the fraction. However, neither of the dates is visible. This piece is plated on page 479 in the error ("Whoops") section of Breen's book on half cents. Weight 85.9 grains. Davy #95.6a.5. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex William K. Raymond 12/6/74.
