1797 1 above 1 (C-1, R.2). PCGS VF-30. 1797 1 above 1 (C-1, R.2). PCGS VF-30.
Lot Title: 1797 1 above 1 (C-1, R.2). PCGS VF-30.
Description: B.B. Consignment. The decrepit, old obverse die has progressed to nearly a shattered state, with massive die-cracks now threatening to explode with their progression. An additional network of cracks extends downward from the point of Liberty's nose, extending to the rim. The best evidence of an apparent under-type is at ICA, or rather where ICA should be, since the area displays instead the faintest hint of the host coin. Furthermore, ICA failed to get impressed during production due to the very late die-state that features bulges there and in other areas. A gorgeous example of this, the greatest "misplaced digit" in any U.S. series, ideal medium-chocolate color derives its attractive hue from a better planchet that has suffered no environmental problems. Many of the perceptible tiny marks remain from the original planchet in unstruck or weakly struck areas, the most obvious post-mint abrasion being a sharp, tiny dig in the reverse rim at 8:00. (PCGS# 001042)

1797 1 Above 1 struck on TAL Token. ICG F-15.
The 1797 C-1 is a "1 above 1" variety, and simply has to be the most blatant repunched date in U.S. numismatic history. Not only was the initial punching of the "1" a full digit too high, but the...

In all of U.S. numismatics, there surely cannot be a more blatant and grotesquely repunched date than that of the 1797 C-1 half-cent, most often referred to as "1 above 1", since calling it a 1 over 1...
