Large Cents
1797 1C Reverse of 1797, Stems, S-123, B-12, R.4, MS64 Brown PCGS. There are three varieties that are generally associated with the famous Nichols Find of large cents. The three are 1796 S-119, 1797 S-123, and 1797 S-135. The S-123 that is offered here may be quickly recognized by the small die flaw that is always present on Liberty's cheek below the eye. The reverse has a tiny rim break that connects two dentils over TA of STATES, and this reverse was also used for the 1796 S-119 cents, although on that variety in a later die state, proving that the 1796 coins were struck after these 1797 cents. This Choice Mint State piece exhibits splendid mahogany-brown surfaces with sharp design motifs. Most or all of the trivial surface marks where present on the planchet before this piece was struck. Our EAC grade MS60.
