  1795. PCGS. VF-30.

  $3,295.00

  C-6a, Plain Edge, No Pole. Overstruck on a Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent. Most 1795 Cohen-6a half cents are struck over T.A.L. Cents but rarely is a part of the design as clear as it is on this magnificent specimen. Part of the mast and sails are very bold under the date on the obverse and the RK from NEW YORK is near the rim at 3 o'clock. The overall quality of the coin is impressive as the surfaces are smooth and problem-free with beautiful light brown color. The detail is strong and even, and the eye appeal is fantastic. If your an early copper junkie; this coin is cool!
