Description

1797 H10C 16 Stars--Tooled, Repaired, Cleaned--ANACS. VG8 Details. V-4, LM-2, R.4. Two of the four die pairings from 1797 show 16 stars, and this variety is distinguished by the leaf that touches the C in AMERICA. Steel-gray toning in the fields contrasts nicely against the pale, silver-gray patina on the central devices. The obverse is exceptionally clean, and the reverse shows only scattered marks. Some softness is present in the center of the reverse. Still a nice early half dime.
