1795 C-6a R2 No Pole G5
Struck on a 1794 Talbot Allum & Lee Cent with a Single Indent. A couple points sharper but covered with uniform very fine granularity. No verdigris or marks. Dark steel brown and chocolate. The date and legends are complete and readable but not strong. Struck on an out-of-round planchet cut from a 1794 TAL Cent that left "PAYA" on the edge off the bust tip (from PAYABLE AT THE STORE OF). In addition, there is a clear, strong indent at the top of the cap, and obvious but unidentified design details are visible in the indented area. Most likely a result of being struck against an overlapping planchet. A neat multiple-error. Weight 73.8 grains.
