Lot Description

1797 Liberty Cap Half Cent. C-2. Rarity-3. Plain Edge. Fine-12 (PCGS). A boldly toned, generally deep brown example with glints of charcoal-russet in the protected areas around some of the design elements. The centering is good, and the detail is suitably sharp for the grade despite some more extensive wear along the left obverse and right reverse borders. The surfaces are microscopically pitted, to no great detriment at the Fine level, and the in hand appearance is pleasing in the absence of significant marks. All in all, a desirable circulated example of the type, date and die pairing. PCGS# 1036. NGC ID: 2228. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
