- 1797 Liberty Cap Half Cent. C-2, B-2c. Rarity-5. Centered Head. VF-20 (PCGS). As diagnostic of the B-2c subvariety, this 1797 Half Cent is overstruck on a cutdown Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent. Portions of the undertype are still discernible here and there at the borders, especially at 9 o'clock on the reverse where we can see some of the ship's rigging from the Talbot, Allum & Lee reverse design.<br /> Gray-brown obverse toning yields to more of a reddish-brown color on the reverse. Otherwise suitably bold detail wanes a bit at the upper-right obverse and lower-right reverse borders, the latter side also revealing a few speckles of old, extremely light verdigris that we mention solely for accuracy.
