1797 1C Reverse of 1797, Stems, S-138, B-20, R.1 -- Obv Scratched - NGC Details. AU. Although light scratches are evident on the obverse, this burnt orange, walnut, and steel-brown cent has excellent detail, and was undoubtedly cleaned and retoned a very long time ago. The strike is bold and nicely centered, and the surfaces exhibit minimal handling marks. This example is Breen's Die State V with light reverse die sinking evident at ES OF AM, and a faint die crack joining the upper leaves over O and E in ONE. Our EAC grade VF25. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
