The Guide Book provides a mintage of 139,690 coins for all varieties of the 1795-dated issue. Along with C-5b, C-6a and C-6b, C-5a represents the Plain Edge, No Pole variety. Most examples are attributed as C-6a, however, with C-5a considerably scarcer. The estimate population for all four attributions is 900 to 2,850 coins in all grades, though just 200 to 600 coins from the C-5a variety remain . The C-5a die pairing is also conditionally challenging, with the vast majority of survivors in lower grades through VF, many also impaired.
