Choice glossy tan and light brown. The only defects are a small carbon spot over the A in HALF and another under the B in LIBERTY. Sharply struck. The repunching on the 79 in the date is clear. NOTE: The Edwards copies of the 1796 half cent were struck using hand-made dies on rolled copper planchets that are a bit thinner and lighter than the genuine version. The workmanship is of good quality and the resulting design is a fairly accurate representation of the genuine article. These were struck sometime prior to 1865, and the first auction appearance came in 1866. Reportedly only 12 pieces were struck before the dies were destroyed. These copies are quite popular and seldom appear for sale, so the reported "mintage" appears accurate. Our grade is MS60+. Weight 74.2 grains. The attribution and Davy Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
