1797 C-2 Half Cent, AU50
Plain Edge, Centered Head
Conditionally Rare Variety

1797 1/2 C Plain Edge, Centered Head, C-2, B-2, R.3, AU50 PCGS. Cohen-2 is collectible in well-circulated grades, but Dr. Manley notes that "specimens are very rare in grades above Very Fine." This is a sharp chocolate-brown example with obverse blushes of mahogany toning. The reverse displays lavender tints. Sharp for the variety, and smooth aside from a thin radial line through the first 7 in the date and a second line on the obverse dentils near 8 o'clock. Underappreciated in the present quality, and a desirable addition to an advanced holding. Our EAC grade VF35.
From The Gibney Family Collection.
