This 1797 half cent is the "1 over 1" blundered die variety. It's the most common of the three varieties known for that year, but they usually are not this sharp. A lot of them are struck from broken dies which left significant portions of the design missing.

 

Neither a great coin nor a great photograph, but it may get us unstuck. It's an 1809/6, so I assume either date can follow.

 

Lets go with 1806.

 

Next would be any Bust Half or anything dated 1806.

 

Cleaned (for sure)

 

Busted half in Baton Rouge, waiting for a post. Feeling near as reeded as can be.
