Lot Description

1795 Liberty Cap Half Cent. C-6a. Rarity-2. Plain Edge, No Pole. Thin Planchet. Overstruck on a Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent. Fine-12 (PCGS). OGH. A handsome, fully original circulated survivor of this popular die pairing in the Liberty Cap half cent series. Both sides are toned in deep copper-rose with a bit of roughness to the surfaces, yet a pleasingly smooth appearance for the grade in the absence of sizeable marks. All major design elements are fully appreciable, and most are quite bold. Remnants of the undertype are faint, but discernible with patience at the upper obverse border, especially outside the letter T in LIBERTY. PCGS# 1018. NGC ID: 2225.
