Description
Rotated and Double Struck 1797 Half Cent
XF40 Details, C-1, B-1
1797 1/2 C --Double Struck, Corroded--ANACS. XF40 Details.
C-1, B-1, R.2. Plain Edge. The Cohen die marriage for this variety
is indicated by an additional 1 above the date. Due to the extreme
rotation and doubling of this piece, however, it is impossible to
tell whether it is Breen-1a or 1c (1c is overstruck on a Talbot,
Allum & Lee token). On this exciting piece, the motto appears as
LIBELIBE because of the double strike. Also particularly prominent
is the doubled denomination with a shadow of the fraction appearing
after AMERI. The corrosion is minor and hardly detracts from the
attractive mahogany patina. A wonderful and intriguing error. EAC
