1/2 Cent    (sold for $1550.0)

1795 C-4 R3 Plain Edge VG7. Flipover Double Strike with 2 Complete Dates. Slightly sharper but there are a half dozen small digs in the field before the neck. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and attractive with only minor contact marks. EDS, Manley state 1.0. This piece was dramatically double struck. The initial impression was 20% off center to K-3. The planchet was then flipped over and restruck properly. Much of the reverse from the off center strike shows on the obverse, including TED on the cap, TES OF before the face, and wreath sprigs on the head and in the field before the neck. Ample evidence of the obverse is clearly visible on the reverse, including a complete 1795 date where CA in AMERICA should be located. Double struck early half cents are rare, flipover double strikes are even rarer, and ones that show two dates are extremely rare. This piece is plated on page 481 of the Breen half cent encyclopedia to illustrate a flipover double strike error. Weight 77.6 grains. Davy #95.4.3. Estimated Value $400-UP. Ex Bill Weber 4/11/80.
