Description Description: Blank Planchet for Half Cent VF20. Rather glossy steel brown and chocolate. There are some light scratches on both sides and traces of microscopic roughness but no verdigris. The rims are upset (stage II of the process). Those upset rims are relatively narrow (compare to the preceding lot), which suggests the planchet was intended for the half cents of 1803-1836. In addition, the diameter is slightly larger (23.0 millimeters versus 22.0 for the preceding lot), which is consistent with the earlier half cents. A nice mate for the preceding lot to show the differences between the planchets. Weight 81.8 grains. Davy #58.1.7. Estimated Value $300-UP. Ex McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 5/29/05:1141.
