Description

1797 C-2 Half Cent, VF25 CAC
Choice Plain Edge, Centered Head

1797 1/2 C Plain Edge, Centered Head, C-2, B-2, R.3, VF25 PCGS. CAC. Manley Die State 1.0. Red-steel and blue-steel form the principle patina of this lovely half cent, with hints of green on the obverse dentils and reverse leaves. Light abrasions are present on the upper right and lower left obverse, and on the reverse are concentrated from top left to lower right. However, all are old, and none are individually distracting. Five die marriage and sub-variety combinations make this year a challenge for the collector. Housed in a Generation 3.1 green label holder.
From The Siesta Key Collection.
