1/2 Cent    (sold for $750.0)

1795 C-1 R2 Lettered Edge G6. Thin, Underweight Planchet. Rather glossy reddish chocolate brown with medium brown toning covering the devices. An attractive two-tone half cent. Nicely struck and well balanced showing a clear date and full legends. Extremely faint roughness covers the fields and protected areas, but the eye appeal is quite nice for the grade. A thin diagonal nick in the field well right of the Y in LIBERTY is the only notable mark. LDS, Manley state 2.0, with minor swelling at AME. Struck on a thin planchet weighing only 92.7 grains (versus the standard of 104.0 grains). The edge lettering is strong but many of the letters hang off the planchet due to its reduced thickness. According to Manley, only three die varieties of lettered edge half cents are known struck on seriously underweight planchets weighing at or near the 84.0 grain standard for thin, plain edge half cents (94C9, 95C1, and 95C2a). All three are represented in this sale. Weight 92.7 grains. Davy #95.1b.2. Estimated Value $600-UP. Ex Don Valenziano 6/19/91. Categories:
