billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 12/18/2016 1:03 pm I think that it is a 1797, but I will need to look at my Cohen book to give you the variety. I know that it's not #1. Report this Post to the Staff

billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 12/19/2016 08:19 am The die variety of this piece is 1797 Cohen 3. There is a slight chance that this is rare edge marking variety. The Cohen 1797 3c variety has the "gripped edge" which is quite rare. Even in this condition, the coin would be worth probably a few hundred dollars to a specialist collector. The gripped edge has "raised bumps of a regular pattern" around the edge of the rim. Report this Post to the Staff
