Description
Rare 1795 C-6b, B-6b Half Cent, VG8
1795 1/2 C Plain Edge VG8 Uncertified. C-6b, B-6b, R.6. Breen State II. Manley State 1.0. EAC 8. Thick Planchet (116.8 grains). The obverse appears perfect, lacking the bulge right of Y, although the surface quality may prevent observation.The thick planchet coins, like those of C-5b, generally weight between 100 and 124 grains, and may all be struck on cut down large cents, although few show actual undertype. These thick planchet coins are elusive, with only about 20 examples currently identified.
Despite some minor surface roughness, this delightful two-tone half cent has light brown devices surrounded by dark steel fields. Both sides have microscopic erosion or hairlines. An attractive example of this rarity. The date is weakly defined, but complete and fully readable.
Ex: Kagin's (9/1972), lot 589; Roger S. Cohen (12/1982); Bob Yuell (Superior, 9/2003), lot 635.
