 1797 Br.2c, C.2 (R-5). Widest Date and Border, Widest HALF. About Uncirculated-50 from a net grade standpoint. Downgraded a bit due to a couple of minor pin scratches. One near the rim above the cap nearly to the 'L', a second near the rim across from her mouth, another on the reverse from the left side of the 'O' in OF to the 'E' in CENT. Sharply struck and impressive both for the type and variety. Traces of undertype are found below the pole and above 'RI' of AMERICA. Despite the scratches, this is a memorable example of this elusive sub variety on the TAL stock, and a coin worthy of the most advanced Half Cent collection. Condition Census for the variety. No pedigree information was included.
