Losbeschreibung

Dark, chocolate brown color. Nice surfaces, free of defects except for a natural void between the I and C of AMERICA on the reverse. For this example, the dies must have come together perfectly parallel with ample pressure to bring up all of the details (it's hard to find any Liberty Cap Half Cent without some kind of weakness). Also, this is one of the most attractive 1797 varieties because of the near-perfect centering of Liberty's head and the extra-long denticles that make up the outer border of the obverse. PCGS reports 3 in this grade, with only 7 finer. <BR>Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,500.
