1795 1/2 C Plain Edge VG8 Uncertified
Description
|
1795 1/2 C Plain Edge VG8 Uncertified. C-6b, B-6b, R.6. Breen State II. Manley State 1.0. EAC 8. Thick Planchet (116.8 grains). The obverse appears perfect, lacking the bulge right of Y, although the surface quality may prevent observation. The thick planchet coins, like those of C-5b, generally weight between 100 and 124 grains, and may all be struck on cut down large cents, although few show actual undertype. These thick planchet coins are elusive, with only about 20 examples currently identified. Despite some minor surface roughness, this delightful two-tone half cent has light brown devices surrounded by dark steel fields. Both sides have microscopic erosion or hairlines. An attractive example of this rarity. The date is weakly defined, but complete and fully readable. Ex: Kagin's (9/1972), lot 589; Roger S. Cohen (12/1982); Bob Yuell (Superior, 9/2003), lot 635. From The Colonel Steven Ellsworth Collection of U.S. Half Cents. Coin Engraver: John Smith Gardner Shipping: Coins & Currency (view shipping information) Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary. Lot:1646 Winning Notification and Billing: After the FINAL session in this auction is complete, Heritage will send e-mail and snail mail invoices. This process normally takes several days. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary. Second Chance Offers: Heritage does not make Second Chance Offers. Once our auction ends, if you receive a Second Chance Offer to buy this item DO NOT accept the offer. Please forward any Second Chance offer emails received on one of our auctions to eBay's Safe Harbor Department. This auction will be conducted on a live auction floor and over the Internet through eBay Live.
