Description

Borderline Uncirculated 1797 Half Cent
Plain Edge, 1 Above 1, C-1

1797 1/2 C 1 Above 1, Plain Edge AU58 NGC. C-1, B-1, R.2. Manley Die State 4.0 with numerous die cracks and subtle obverse die sinking that weakens the ICA in AMERICA opposite on the reverse. Another obverse die bulge weakens the TE in UNITED. No trace of a Talbot, Allum & Lee token undertype is visible. This chocolate-brown near-Mint half cent is remarkably void of carbon or verdigris. The reverse appears completely unabraded, while the obverse has faint marks near the nose and a few nearly imperceptible hairlines on the portrait. Luster shimmers across both sides of this desirable example. MRB AU50.
