Description

1797 C-1 Half Cent, VF20
CAC-Approved 1 Above 1

1797 1/2 C Plain Edge, 1 Above 1, C-1, B-1, R.2, VF20 PCGS. CAC. Manley Die State 1.0. Red-steel and blue-steel overlay to create a lovely, original patina, which is also free of abrasions. Striking weakness exists only at the center of the reverse. This choice half cent is housed in a Generation 3.1 green label holder. The 1 Above 1 variety occurred when the engraver began punching the date too high, later correcting it in the proper location.
From The Siesta Key Collection.
