Description
1797 C-3b, B-3a Half Cent VG Details
Lettered Edge
1797 1/2 C Lettered Edge, Low Head, C-3b, B-3a, R.4 -- Tooled --
PCGS Genuine. VG Details. Manley Die State 3.0, equal to the
earliest die state of C-3a, showing that the Lettered Edge coins
were struck before the Plain Edge pieces, as Breen suggested in his
Half Cent Encyclopedia. This piece is intriguing. There are
a number of small dents, marks, and faint scratches, especially on
the two-tone brown obverse. There is also a series of short,
parallel grooves from the border into the bust, and another from
the back of the head to the B in LIBERTY. The bidder should decide
if those marks represent undertype, or merely additional random
handling marks. A few similar marks appear on the reverse. Our EAC
grade Good 6.From The Mark Hays Collection of Half Cents.
