Description Description: 1795 C-6a R2 Plain Edge without Pole on Thin Planchet VG10. Double Struck on 1794 Talbot Allum & Lee Cent with NEW YORK. Five points sharper but there are a half dozen shallow planchet lamination flakes on the obverse, including a large one on the throat and a smaller one in the dentils over the T in LIBERTY. The remainder of the planchet is smooth and the reverse is choice. Glossy chocolate brown with lighter brown toning in the laminated areas on the obverse. Undertype from the TAL Cent shows clearest left of the cap. Double struck, the first strike reasonably well centered on the planchet and the second off 5-10% to K-9 and rotated perhaps 10 degrees relative to the first. Evidence of doubling is obvious on both sides, clearest on the bust and at MER. The 5 from the first strike shows (weakly) right of the date creating a new date reading 17955. Weight 84.1 grains. Davy #95.6a.1. Estimated Value $700-UP. Ex J. L. Brobston, Stack's 6/12/71. Categories:
