<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Omegaraptor, post: 8667417, member: 76105&quot;]Went to the Portland WCC show looking for early copper and Bust/Seated coinage. Saw this half cent at the end of a dealer’s case for $125. This is a type I have wanted for a while. I offered $90 and took it home. It is the 1797 C-1, 1 Above 1 variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1520302[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1520303[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Although this is a ground find the details are strong - I believe that this was a VF coin before it was dropped in the ground. The hair detail looks to be mostly there. Hope you enjoy this example of this scarce early type and my first half cent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
