Lot 175
1797 C-2 R3 VG7. Double Struck with Small Offset. Glossy light chocolate and olive. The surfaces are smooth and attractive, void of any notable defects. The date and legends are complete and easily readable except in the lower right quadrant of the reverse, which is swollen from the late die state. Double struck with an offset between impressions of a half millimeter or slightly larger. The doubling is clearest on the obverse, especially on the portrait where there are two poles, two eyes, and two mouths. The doubling on the reverse is more subtle, clearest on the fraction and in the lower left quadrant. Weight 84.2 grains. Davy #97.2.13.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
