Description

1797 S-136 Cent, AU50
Lovely, Chocolate-Brown Survivor

1797 1C Reverse of 1797, Stems, S-136, B-7, R.3, AU50 PCGS. Ex: The Peh Family Collection. Breen Die State III. Chocolate-brown surfaces are nearly unabraded, save for select areas of inconspicuous granularity on the obverse field. The holder designates this coin as a Reverse of 1796, Gripped Edge variety. However, the double leaf on the right wreath end reveals that this coin has the Reverse of 1797. The weakness on the reverse is die damage, with Noyes postulating that, "The die must have been injured by coming into contact with some smooth object."
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/2005), lot 5082; ANA Signature (Heritage, 7/2005), lot 5100.
From The Peh Family Collection.
