1795 C-3 R5+ Punctuated Date AG3. Off Center. Sharpness VG10 or better but banged up and slightly flattened. No verdigris or corrosion. A sharp rim nick over the Y in LIBERTY can help identify this piece, but there are many candidates from which to choose. However, the color is a respectable frosty reddish steel and chocolate brown. The date is strong and the legends are nearly complete. MDS, Manley state 2.0. Much of HALF CENT is weakly impressed. Struck 5% off center to K-9. Weight 73.5 grains.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
