1797 Liberty Cap Half Cent. C-1. Rarity-2. 1 Above 1, Plain Edge. AU-50 Details--Reverse Repaired (ANACS).A pleasing coin in hand, both sides exhibit appreciable gloss to satiny, overall smooth, predominantly copper brown surfaces. Blushes of deeper steel-brown are scattered about on the reverse. Otherwise sharp striking detail wanes appreciably only over the lower right reverse, but even in that area all major design elements are readily evident. There are no noteworthy marks on either side, although the reverse exhibits a curiously hazy appearance as the coin rotates under a light, which feature helps to explain the ANACS qualifier. Manley Die State 4.0, described therein as "scarce."
