1797 C-1 Half Cent, AU53
1 Above 1, Late Die State

1797 1/2 C 1 Above 1, C-1, B-1, R.2, AU53 PCGS. Manley Die State 4.0 to 5.0. A late die state with a swollen right obverse field, which in turn causes an indistinct impression on the ICA in AMERICA. The obverse die was nearly shattered from cracks. This deep brown representative is refreshingly unabraded, and the major motifs are nicely struck. The surfaces are microgranular below Liberty's cap. Our EAC grade VF20.
