1797 C-1 R2 1 above 1 variety. NGC graded AU-53. Struck over a cut-down Talbot Allum & Lee Cent, 1794-1795. Glossy chocolate brown and steel with smooth, attractive surfaces. Very lightly cleaned long ago but the eye appeal is excellent. The only notable defects are a small patch of darker toning and microscopic roughness above the right top of the N in CENT and a pinprick on the leaf above the H in HALF. MDS, Manley state 3.0, with extensive die cracks on the obverse but full legends on both sides. The date is bold and the 1 above 1 feature is obvious. Traces of the TAL Cent undertype can be found on both sides, clearest at the tip of the pole and at the E in AMERICA. Our grade is EF40 net VF35. The attribution is noted on the NGC label.
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.
