Full resolution: (1205 X 600 pixels, file size: ~186K)

1797 C-3a R3 Low Head with Plain Edge G6. Struck over Spoiled Large Cent. A couple points sharper, especially on the obverse, but covered with extremely fine granularity. No verdigris, just some old pinscratches on the portrait into the field under the cap, all blending into the natural toning. Rather glossy olive brown and chocolate with lighter chocolate toning covering the devices. The date is strong and the legends are clear except for weakness at the top of the reverse. Struck on a planchet cut from an off-center large cent. An arc of large cent dentils shows under the bust and a stronger arc of opposing dentils reaches from the rim at D-S to the O in OF. AMER from the off-center large cent shows rather clearly in large letters inside those cent dentils at the top of the reverse, and the cent design contributed to the weakness on STATES OF in the half cent legend. Weight 77.1 grains. Davy #97.3a.13. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. Ex Doug Bird 3/30/01. Categories:
