Description

1795 C-6a, B-6c Half Cent, MS64 Brown
Thin Planchet, Plain Edge, No Pole
Struck Over Talbot, Allum & Lee Token

1795 1/2 C Plain Edge, No Pole, Thin Planchet, C-6a, B-6c, R.2, MS64 Brown NGC. Our EAC Grade MS60. The glossy reddish-chocolate brown and golden-tan surfaces retain considerable faded orange color on each side. The strike is nicely centered with nearly complete obverse and reverse borders. Traces of undertype from a cut-down Talbot, Allum & Lee token appear at the left-side obverse and the upper reverse.

Variety: The C-6, B-6 die pair has no pole at the bust and a plain edge. Thin planchet coins are described as C-6a; thick planchet coins are C-6b. Walter Breen identified a third subvariety, B-6c, struck on cut-down Talbot, Allum & Lee tokens, as offered here.

Population Data (4/15): NGC has certified 12 Mint State 1795 half cents, including two MS64 Brown and one MS65 Red and Brown. PCGS has certified 24 Mint State examples.

Heritage Commentary: A favorite numismatic pastime is the identification of undertypes on coins struck over others. While sufficient undertype remains for positive identification of the type, it is insufficient for identification of the date or variety.

Provenance: Purchased from Bill Nagle (5/2002).
