1795 C-6b R6- No Pole, Thick Planchet Fair-2+
1795 C-6b R6- No Pole, Thick Planchet Fair-2+. The obverse is slightly weaker while the reverse is a bit stronger. The highpoints are rather smooth while the remainder of the planchet is covered with very fine roughness. No marks or verdigris. Dark steel and olive. The date is gone and LIBERTY is faint, but most of the reverse legend remains easily readable. Not an especially attractive half cent. Weight 111.5 grains, which is in the middle of the weight range for the thick planchet version according to Manley (see page 66 in his book). Davy #95.6b.1.
Estimated Value $350-UP.

Provenance: Ex Gordon Wrubel 8/15/1972.
