1797 C-3b R4 Low Head with Lettered Edge VG8. Struck over Off Center Large Cent. Sharpness F12 but covered with microscopic roughness. No verdigris and only a few contact marks, including a couple very light scratches hidden in the hair below the ear. Slightly glossy light olive and chocolate brown. The date and legends are easily readable although a few letters are relatively weak. Struck over a cut-down off center large cent with an arc of the dentils of the large cent strongly impressed at 179 (of the half cent date) to the left of the lower curls. An opposing arc of large cent dentils shows at TATES of the half cent reverse. The date and legends are all readable, and the edge lettering is strong (although most of the letters hang off the thin planchet, as usual). Weight 80.1 grains. Davy #97.3b.6. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex 1984 EAC Sale 3/31/84:422 (where miscataloged as "double struck"). Categories:
