1795 C-4 R3 Punctuated Date F12. Sharpness near VF25 but there are several obvious scratches on the obverse, including a couple rather strong ones at IBER. The reverse, in contrast, is quite nice. No roughness or verdigris, and the toning is an attractive glossy medium chocolate brown and steel. MDS, Manley state 2.0. The EN in CENT is very weakly struck but all of HALF is clear. Weight 82.6 grains.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
