-yKEKbzbidqQAAAFLgzv6AgrI.jpg "1/2 Cent USA (1776 - ) Copper")
1797 C-3b R4 Low Head with Lettered Edge G5. Struck over a Large Cent that was Double Struck Off Center. A couple points sharper but fine roughness covers both sides and there are patches of very fine reddish verdigris dusted on the obverse, especially at LIB and in the field before the eye. In addition, there are some light hairline scratches down the portrait and a few rim nicks on the reverse. Slightly glossy light olive brown and chocolate. Struck over a double struck cut-down large cent. The hair ribbon from one of the cent strikes shows strongly on the lower curls, and the cent undertype obliterates the 1 in the half cent date. On the reverse is strong cent undertype of ATE from STATES covering the area where STATES would have been on the half cent, and weaker but unmistakable undertype from STATES also shows at the tops of OF-AMER (which proves the double-struck status of the cent undertype). The edge lettering is mostly strong but a few of the letters are distorted by the rim nicks. The reverse is plated on page 29 in Roger Cohens second edition of his half cent book to illustrate the "Large Cent Planchet" undertype because the evidence is so strong. Weight 90.0 grains. Davy #97.3b.7. Estimated Value $400-UP. Ex Robert Batchelder-Roger S. Cohen, Jr., Superior 2/2/92:93. Categories:
