1795 C-6b R-6 PCGS F Details Pl Edge, No Pole Liberty Cap Half Cent Coin 1c

Description

PCGS authenticated and graded F Details.
Semi-glossy olive brown and steel with chocolate toning on the devices, c
overed with uniform extremely fine granularity that is
only
visible under magnification
. The only contact mark is a small rim nick over the left side of the E in LIBERTY.
EDS, Manley state 1.0, without the minor bulge right of the Y in LIBERTY. The date and HALF CENT are relatively weak, as usual for the thick planchet variety, but they are complete and easily readable. The other legends are clear. Struck on a spoiled large cent planchet cut down to half cent diameter and weighing 116.2 grains.
A decent example of the very rare thick planchet version of the die variety, at the lower end of the condition census.
