NGC US Coin Census for Liberty Cap Half Cents (1793-1797)

Owner Comments:

This is a classic half cent strike. The obverse die shattered and resulted in what appears to be a multitiered obverse. Also this is a striking and dramatic re-punched date. The re-punched 1 is clearly identifiable a full height above the native 1 in 1797. The grade on this coins seems to me to be generous as opposed to the 1793 above...
