Description
Double Struck 1797 C-2, B-2 Half Cent, Fine 12 Details
1797 1/2 C Plain Edge--Scratched--ANACS. Fine 12 Details. C-2, B-2c, R.5. The "C-2 on TAL Token" description that ANACS gave this piece is inaccurate. Rather, it is clearly double struck. The obverse has an outline of Liberty's bust line below the primary position, and remnants of the date visible within the border. An extra set of dentils is evident behind LIBERTY. Additional doubling is visible on the reverse. Chocolate patina covers the fields on both sides, which contrasts nicely to the light tan devices. There is a shallow scratch on the reverse at the rim, but it does not affect any of the design elements. The bottom of the obverse and the last few letters in AMERICA exhibit softness, as if often the case. EAC 8.From The Jerry Kochel Collection.(Registry values: P6)
