Lot 181
1797 C-3a R3 Low Head with Plain Edge AG3. Off Center. The obverse is slightly sharper while the reverse is a bit weaker, which is typical for well worn examples of this variety. Slightly glossy olive and dark steel brown. The surfaces are covered with uniform extremely faint roughness under the natural patina, but there is no verdigris. The only mark is a thin, very old scratch at the upper left of the reverse. The date and LIBERTY are complete and clear but less than half the legend on the reverse remains visible. Struck 5-10% off center to K-2. Weight 75.3.grains. Davy #97.3a.7.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
Ex Joe Kane 3/31/1984 (during the EAC Convention).
