1795 Liberty Cap Half Cent. C-2b. Rarity-6+. Plain Edge, Punctuated Date. VF Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS).Planchet clipped at 1 oclock on the obverse, reducing the weight down to 66.0 grains from the standard of 84.0 grains. The surfaces are overall glossy in-hand, showing a trivial granularity upon magnified inspection. Sharply struck but soft at the denomination HALF CENT, as is typical. A few faint pinscratches are scattered throughout but have long worn into the overall complexion. An old scratch through the L of LIBERTY remains prominent. An attractive piece. Struck in Manley Die State 3.0 with the reverse rotated 15 degrees counterclockwise. The rarest of the four varieties with the punctuated date obverse, with a total population of fewer than 20 examples. Most are in grades of VG and lower, leaving a sharp example with significant eye appeal such as this an important find.Ex Bill Panitch at the 1985 EAC convention, April 12, 1985; Carvin Goodridge; Goodridge Estate; McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs sale of September, 2012.
