1794 C-4b R6+ AG3. Large Edge Letters. A couple points sharper but fine to moderate granularity covers the fields and protected areas on both sides while the devices are smooth. No verdigris, but there is a dull dent at AM that has caused a subtle bulge in the field over the end of the pole. Recolored a partially glossy dark bluish steel and olive brown. LDS, Manley state 2.0, with a die clashmark nestled between the upper edge of the cap and the back of the head. The date is clear and the legends are easily readable in spite of the fine roughness. The Large Edge Letters are strong except for the T in TWO and the E in HUNDRED, which are weakened by edge bumps. One of the rarest varieties of the series, very close to Rarity-7, and sure to command attention from advanced collectors of half cents.
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
Ex Heritage 8/17/1995:5019.
