 Half Cent. 1803 Breen 1. Cohen 1. Off-center strike. Fine-12. Struck about 20% or more off-center toward the 12:00 position when viewed from the obverse, in effect cutting off the entire word LIBERTY from the obverse and most of the lower legends on the reverse. The unstruck portion of the planchet shows the clearly upset rims of a Type II planchet. Surfaces are a pleasing, dark coffee bean brown and exhibit trivial graininess on both sides. Here is a wonderful coin for the error or Half Cent collector.
