Struck on a Planchet with a Curved Clip. Very slightly sharper where properly struck up, but the lower part of the obverse and upper section of the reverse are a bit softly impressed. A patch of shallow planchet erosion under the bust tip nearly obliterates the 5 in the date but the 179 remain visible although weak. The legends are complete and easily readable. Slightly glossy steel brown with chocolate toning in protected areas. A curved planchet clip reaches just inside the dentils opposite the neck and AME. While all planchet clips are rare on early half cents, curved ones (created by the planchet cutter) are especially rare. Weight 80.9 grains.
