1796 Liberty Cap Bust Right Half Cent Edwards Copy

Edwards copies were likely produced in the mid-1860s in London or New York. The first known auction appearance was in W. Elliot Woodward's April 1866 sale. It is thought that the copies were produced by Dr. Francis S. Edwards. In the Breen Half Cent Encyclopedia, Breen described 10 distinct examples in his Condition Census for the variety. Six years later, R. Tettenhorst described four additional examples. He also noted duplications in Breen's roster, and remarked that one of those in the early list is actually an electrotype of the Edward's copy.
