1/2 Cent    (sold for $700.0)

1797 C-2 R3 G5. Struck over a 1795 Talbot Allum & Lee Cent with Edge Lettering. Attractive glossy chocolate brown with smooth surfaces. Just a few minor contact marks, including a dull, light scratch in the field over the bust tip, a small rim bruise at the second T in STATES, and an even smaller one at IC in AMERICA. Struck over a 1795 TAL Cent with "ISE TO" on the edge (from WE PROMISE TO PAY THE BEARER ONE CENT). TAL Cent undertype from BERTY has obliterated the date of the half cent, and STORE from the reverse of the TAL Cent shows clearly at the top of the reverse. Half cents struck over cut-down 1794 TAL Cents are not especially rare, but ones on the 1795 version are quite rare and only a couple of those show remnants of the edge letters. Weight 83.2 grains. Davy #97.2.24. Estimated Value $400-UP. Ex Gino Sanfilippo. Categories:
