Description
1797 C-1, B-1 Half Cent, AU53
Blundered 1 Above 1 Obverse
1797 1/2 C Plain Edge, 1 Above 1, C-1, B-1, R.2, AU53 PCGS.
Manley Die State 3.0. When the engraver was preparing this obverse
die, he entered the date too far above the border, failing to leave
enough space for the figure of Liberty. Logic suggests that the
central device would be punched first, then the date and LIBERTY
would follow, but that is apparently not what happened. Remnants of
the initial date punch remain, including a complete 1 positioned
above the final placement. Both sides of this chocolate-brown
example show slight surface roughness that may remain from the
planchet before this example was produced. A few small areas of
light green patina are also noted. Undertype is evident in the
right obverse field, likely from a Talbot, Allum & Lee token that
was used as a planchet for this piece.From The Peter Sharrer Collection.
