Description

Over Struck 1795 C-6a, B-6c Half Cent, Fine 12

1795 1/2 C Plain Edge, No Pole. Fine 12 NGC. C-6a, B-6c, R.2. Breen State II. Manley State 2.0. EAC 8. The usual die state, identified by a slight bulge in the obverse field to the right of Y. Faint under-type from a TAL token is visible at the lower left obverse and over TAT on the reverse.
The visible undertype establishes this half cent as an example of B-6c, struck on a normal thin planchet produced from "token stock." Both B-6a and B-6c are otherwise known as C-6a in the Cohen reference. As a variety, C-6a is called R.2, although the relative rarities of pieces struck on tokens or flans from sheet copper is unknown. Breen actually rated those on rolled copper stock as rarer than others on token stock.
Smooth and pleasing dark steel-brown surfaces exhibit a few traces of lighter tan color. Both sides are lightly abraded, with a few blended hairlines.
