1795 C-3 R5+ Punctuated Date VG7. Sharpness F15 but moderately granular on all but the highpoints, which are relatively smooth. The portrait is covered with hairline scratches and several very thin nicks, but these marks are not obvious to the unaided eye. No verdigris. Dark steel, matte in the fields but rather glossy on the devices. The date and legends are complete and strong, and the comma punctuation between the 1 & 7 is clear. Extremely rare EDS, Manley state 1.0, with HALF CENT properly struck. Weight 80.8 grains.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
