Description
1797 C-1, B-1 Half Cent, VF35
1 Above 1
1797 1/2 C Plain Edge, 1 Above 1, C-1, B-1, R.2, VF35 PCGS.
In addition to its dramatic blunder where the date was initially
entered too high and then corrected closer to the rim, this variety
also undergoes dramatic changes due to extensive use. It is a
popular Guide Book variety that also captures the interest
of advanced collectors for its numerous die states. Fortunately, it
is also the most plentiful variety of 1797 half cents with examples
known in circulated grades and occasionally in Mint State grades.
The obverse die is cracked and bulged with RTY showing weakness on
this example that exhibits splashes of maroon patina on its olive
and chocolate-brown surfaces.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2228, Variety PCGS# 35101, Base PCGS# 1042, Greysheet# 80865)
