    Description

    1795 1/2 C Plain Edge, No Pole, Thick Planchet, C-5b, B-5b, R.4, VF30 NGC. NGC has weighed and measured this piece, confirming its identification as C-5b. The diameter is 24.5 mm and the weight is 109.9 grains. This is the scarce thick planchet subvariety, showing a weak impression on the date and HALF CENT, and a slightly distorted appearance of the peripheral legends. Toned sea-green and lavender with thin marks below the cap and the E in LIBERTY. The diagonal break, inherited from C-4, is apparent within the wreath. Our EAC grade Fine 15.

    We have added the NGC edge photo to the listing, and suggest that prospective bidders consider the possibility of a large cent or token undertype.
