[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 971371, member: 21705"]I was hoping to get a real bargain yesterday when a coin was mislabled and unattributed. Alas, at least two other eagle eye bidders also caught it and took me out of the auction. This is labled as a Large Cent and speculated it was a 1793, when in fact it is a basal example of a 1797 C-1 with edge lettering Half Cent. I'm not sure if that makes it a subvariety b or c. It list for $700 in AG3 in the 2010 Redbook so it sold for a fair price after I was out of the bidding.
