<Our item number 135975><B>1794 C-3a R5. VF-20.</B> Small Edge Letters. Clipped Planchet. Very attractive glossy chocolate brown with delicate bluish steel overtones in protected areas. The surfaces are smooth and show only a few trivial contact marks, including a tiny chip on the bust tip, a rim nick over the first T in STATES, and a minor rim bruise at IT in UNITED. Sharply struck LDS, Manley 2.0, with a bulge in the field right of the date. A very rare die state according to Manley, and this is the Manley plate coin for the die state. In addition, there is a rather large planchet clip &#40;as struck&#41; affecting the dentils on the right side of the obverse and the opposing area over MERI. A very attractive half cent and a neat mint error. Removed from a PCGS slab graded XF40 &#40;the PCGS label is included, and it mentions the clipped planchet error&#41;. Weight 105.7 grains. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;5,000 - 7,000. <I><BR>Ex Dr. Wallace Lee, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 5/25/03:77.</I> <BR><BR>O ur item number 135975<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/48jpegs/135975.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/48jpegs/135975N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
