Description Description: 1795 C-6a R2 Plain Edge without Pole on Thin Planchet VG8. Flip-Over Double Strike. Sharpness F12 with very fine granularity covering the planchet. No verdigris, but there are fine hairline scratches hidden in the patina on both sides and a mint-made planchet chip at the rim over N in UNITED. Dark olive brown with lighter steel brown and chocolate toning on the high points. Boldly double struck. The first impression was 10% off center to K-4. The planchet was then flipped over and struck slightly off center to K-9. The date does not show on either side, but there is ample bold undertype visible on both sides, including a complete fraction below the bust tip. A dramatic example of the flip-over double strike type of mint error, and it is plated on page 481 in the Breen encyclopedia for that very reason. EDS, Manley state 1.0. Weight 76.9 grains. Davy #95.6a.4. Estimated Value $600-UP. Ex William K. Raymond 3/17/75. Categories:
