1797 Liberty Cap Half Cent. C-2. Rarity-3. Plain Edge. Fine-15 (PCGS).An attractive piece with uncommonly smooth-looking surfaces for the assigned grade. The obverse, in particular, is remarkably well preserved for having seen this extensive circulation, and both sides reveal only trivial marks when observed with the aid of a loupe. Well centered in strike and otherwise boldly defined, only at the lower right reverse border do we note appreciable softness of detail. Microscopically rough, but to no great detriment to the coins overall appearance, this is a desirable example for circulated type, date or variety purposes. Cohen-2, while not a major rarity among die marriages of the 1797 half cent, is rare in grades above VF.
