Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1795 C-1 R2 Lettered Edge AG3+. Close to G4 but the planchet is covered with microscopic roughness. No verdigris or notable marks. Somewhat glossy olive brown and steel with slightly lighter toning on the devices. The date is weak but readable and the legends are complete except for weakness on HALF CENT. EDS, Manley state 1.0, before any die swelling at AME. The planchet appears very slightly egg-shaped thanks to an incipient planchet clip before the lower half of the neck, as struck.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
From the Dennis Fuoss Collection.
