Description
Rare 1797 Half Cent, XF Details, C-2, B-2c
Prominent Talbot, Allum & Lee Undertype
1797 1/2 C Plain Edge--Tooled, Cleaned--ANACS. XF40 Details.
C-2, B-2c, R.5. This variety is distinguished from Breen's 2a and
2b because it is struck over a cut-down Talbot, Allum & Lee token.
Major diagnostics for the Cohen die marriage are the wide letter
spacing accompanied by a faint die crack above UNI in UNITED. The
undertype can be seen around the perimeter with the legend
especially pronounced on the reverse. The color ranges from light
to medium brown and has pleasing eye appeal despite the cleaning.
Faint signs of tooling can be seen on the obverse but overall the
surfaces show no marks worthy of mention. EAC 30.From The Jerry Kochel Collection.
