1797 C-3a R3 Low Head with Plain Edge F15+. Slightly Off Center over Spoiled Large Cent. Sharpness EF40 or better but the surfaces are minutely rough under an attractive glossy light olive and medium brown patina. The color and eye appeal are excellent in spite of the roughness, which is strongest on the upper part of the reverse. No verdigris, and the only mark is a tiny nick in the field under the I in LIBERTY. Close to VF20 in spite of the imperfect surfaces. Struck slightly off center to K-7 on a planchet cut down from an off-center large cent, but the date and legends remain on the planchet. There is an arc of cent dentils from the chin down to the shoulder of Ms Liberty. The reverse has several traces of cent undertype. These include and N of ONE left of the U in UNITED, D STAT arcing from the H in HALF to the second A in AMERICA, and the EN of CENT over UN in UNITED of the half cent. None of the cent undertype is strong, but there is a lot of it. MDS, Manley state 2.0. The die crack from the chin extends lightly to the rim at right. Weight 98.1 grains. Davy #97.3a.10. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. Ex Hugh Campbell-Jack Beymer-Roger S. Cohen, Jr., Superior 2/2/92:86. Categories:
