Lot Title:
|
1797 Plain Edge (C-2, R.3). NGC VF-35 BN.
|
|
Description:
|
Centered portrait and wide HALF give C-2, with no under type, a plain edge and die-state IV. Struck a touch off-center left, especially as compared to an NGC XF-45 in today's sale, with evidence in the reverse lower-right quadrant of a mildly tapered planchet. Several tiny pits, a couple of digs and circulation marks are randomly distributed, along with a green speck in the left ribbon end of the wreath, and there is reason to believe the surfaces were a bit more corroded in appearance at one time. Since then, they have been gently smoothed and expertly recolored, providing a very decent overall appearance.

1797 Plain Edge (C-3a, R.3). NGC VG-8 BN.

Low head on the obverse, and a triple leaf at AME, plus NGC states "plain edge" giving C-3a as attribution. Die state III with the chip on the chin, but no die-crack to the right rim. Absolutely... |

1797 Low Head, Plain Edge (C-3a, R.3). PCGS VF-25 BN.
