Slightly sharper but covered with fine roughness mixed with a couple stronger patches of corrosion on the obverse. The area at IBER is distorted by the corrosion and there is a depression in the center of the obverse. No contact marks or verdigris. The date is weak but readable as is most of the legend. Struck on a lightweight planchet (74.9 grains versus the 104.0 grain standard for 1794 half cents) and it has a lettered edge. Many of the edge letters hang off the thin planchet and some of them are no longer readable. We know of only 6 examples struck on a thin, lettered edge planchet (see page 45 in the Manley reference on the series).
