 Large Cent. 1797 Sheldon 139. Flipover double strike. Very Good-10. First struck about 10% off-center, this coin was then refed upside down into the coining press, where it was struck a second time properly centered. 'TES OF AMER' are clearly visible at the obverse center, while '797' and part of Miss Liberty's bust are visible at the upper left reverse. Rich chestnut brown surfaces are smoothly worn and mostly problem-free; a quadripartite counterstamp or other ''damage'' is to be found at the obverse's dead center. Housed in an ANACS *GENUINE* DAMAGED holder.
