My Latest 1795 C-6b (thick planchet) Half Cent Rarity-5 (50 estimated)

I just found another rare 1795 Liberty Cap Half Cent that was for sale by a dealer in Illinois.
This man bought up three large coin collections and put the coins up for sale.
He had several Liberty Cap Half Cents and this was one of them.
As with most of my finds it is in rather poor condition and does not have a date (typical for low grade versions of this variety)
It is the 'no-pole' variety which also has the 'L' in 'LIBERTY' close to the Cap.
The reverse is what confirms the variety, with the leaf tip just below the 'I' in 'AMERICA'
Parts of 'ERIC' in 'AMERICA' are still showing.
This reverse is only used on the 1795 C-6 (a and b).
It's weight is 97 grains (the thick,heavy sub-variety), making it a 1795 C-6b.
Let me know if you can see the parts of AMERICA and the leaf tip, since they are rather worn and corroded.
If not, I can include more pictures with those areas highlighted.
Enjoy, Jon
