Description

1795 C-5b, B-5b Half Cent, VF35
Thick Planchet, Plain Edge, No Pole

1795 1/2 C Plain Edge, No Pole, Thick Planchet, C-5b, B-5b, R.4, VF35 PCGS. 129 grains, 23.8 mm diameter. The heavy weight suggests this coin was struck on a cut down large cent planchet. Glossy brown-steel surfaces show a scattering of microscopic marks and shallow pits/ridges across the fields. The date is weakly struck, as is the central reverse -- as often seen on the thick-planchet coins. A pair of die breaks run in parallel across the reverse (Breen Die State III). Choice VF definition remains on where the motifs remain unaffected by die state, with Liberty's portrait especially sharp for the grade. Our EAC grade VF25.
