1795 C-5a R3 Without Pole G4. Very slightly sharper but there are several scratches on the reverse, mostly at STATE. No roughness or verdigris, and the toning is an attractive glossy medium chocolate brown. The date is weak, barely visible, but most of the legend remains clear. LDS. The bisecting die failure on the reverse is strong. Weight 76.6 grains.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
