Obverse: 13 (Second Marriage)
Reverse: P
Reverse: P
O-123 R7- below, O-123a R7- at bottom
8-9 Known
One NGC graded MS65 leads the pack. Tomkins says 8-9 known, but is only able to account for 8....
Variety Attribution: Obverse-Star 1 barely pierces. Star 2 is clear of second curl. Star 15 touches bust near upper end of same. Date is 8 1/2 mm.
O-123: Reverse- 16 berries 7 left and 9 right, 2 inside left wing, 3 inside and 1 outside right wing. This reverse easy to recognize because of the leaf between IC. The only 1795 reverse found with leaf in this position.
O-123a: There is a heavy die break from rim above E in STATES, through S and OF and to rim between F and first A in AMERICA. Very late states of this die crack develop retained cuds and very probably the entire area between the die crack and the rim became a massive cud.
