1/2 Cent    (sold for $1700.0)

1793 C-2 R3 Liberty Cap, Head Left G4. Blundered Edge Lettering. Several points sharper but the planchet is lightly eroded under a mostly glossy chocolate brown patina. No verdigris, and the only marks are some dull hairline scratches hidden in the toning on both sides. The date is complete and easily readable but relatively weak, and the legends are nearly complete. The edge lettering is blundered reading "TWO HUNDRED FOR A DOLLA" (Castaing machine not properly reset to the null position before adding the edge lettering to the planchet). This piece is noted for its blundered edge at the bottom of page 5 in the Manley book on the half cent series. Weight 85.1 grains. Davy #93.2.5. Estimated Value $1,500-UP. Ex Kermit Smyth 5/19/98.
