 Large Cent. 1795 Sheldon 76B. Plain Edge. Flipover double strike. Very Good-8. This coin was first struck about 20% off-center, an error that was obviously discovered by the press operators. The misstruck Large Cent was fed back correctly centered into the coining chamber, but with the obverse now on top of the old reverse, and vice-versa. The second striking did not obliterate all signs of the first; wreath details are clearly visible at the right obverse and elements of the obverse, such as the '5' in the date, are clearly visible at the left reverse. Surfaces are a pleasing, chocolate brown and are essentially problem-free. ANACS VG08.
