Description

Pleasing 1797 Plain Edge Half Cent
VF30 Details, C-1, B-1

1797 1/2 C 1 Above 1--Corroded, Cleaned--ANACS. VF30 Details. C-1, B-1, R.2. This variety shows a thin 1 above the 1 in the date, dot-like defects above both 7's, and five berries on the left branch and three on the right. The later die state features a bulge left of the L in LIBERTY, a die crack from the right side of B into the hair, another from the nose to 4 o'clock, and one from the latter crack to the lower throat. Olive-brown surfaces exhibit sharply defined design features, and reveal minor, insignificant roughness in the right obverse field and in some of the interstices of the wreath. This is a rather pleasing coin, devoid of mentionable abrasions or hairlines. The ANACS disclaimer should not dissuade prospective bidders. EAC 15.
