Lot Description

1797 Liberty Cap Half Cent. C-1. Rarity-2. 1 Above 1, Plain Edge. VF-25 (PCGS). Even deep steel-brown with microscopic granularity so fine that it is barely detectable even under standard magnification. An attractive example of this blundered date marriage. The legends and types are clear and there are no consequential marks. Provenance: From the Birdwatcher Type Set, with a portion of the proceeds to benefit The Nature Conservancy. PCGS# 1042. NGC ID: 2228. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
