Lot 89
1797 C-3a R3 Low Head with Plain Edge AG3. Struck over Off Center Large Cent. Glossy dark chocolate brown with lighter brown highlights on the reverse. No corrosion or roughness, but there are some dull contact marks, including one in the center of the obverse, another left of the L in LIBERTY, and a third over the E in UNITED. The legends are mostly clear but there is no date as that area is covered with the bust of an off center large cent. The F from OF on the cent reverse is visible inside the opposing arc of large cent dentils at the top of the reverse. Weight 76.5 grains. Davy #97.3a.9.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
