You don't need the date to determine this as the reverse eliminates that possibility. In fact, the coin appears to be a 1795 (O-113a). I'm surprised that centsles aka Robert A Johnson, would have encapsulated in his NNC holder with the blatantly false "Silver Plug" and "1794/1795" nonsense. Report this Post to the Staff

jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 09/01/2015 9:05 pm g048406 While I personally would never bid on a $2000 coin being sold by someone who praises NNC as a great certification service and already has 2 serious grammatical errors in just the first sentence of the description, I do know that a few silver plug 1795 half dollars do exist. (reference 2016 RedBook and PCGS which has certified one.) Report this Post to the Staff

The only one I have ever seen/heard of belonged to Mr. Willis and was certified by himself in his PCGS holder and looked like an after mint plug. Otherwise, I've never heard of nor seen this snipe coin. Report this Post to the Staff

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 09/02/2015 5:11 pm Fascinating topic. The ebay listing has a photo of a plugged 1795 obverse for comparison. It is easier to see the listed coin's plug on the reverse. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 09/02/2015 5:27 pm You know, I'm thinking Philadelphian might be knowledgeable on this subject if you wanna ping him. It's just a guess though. Seems like this might be right up his ally? Report this Post to the Staff
