Here is the 1797 documentation, I deviate a bit from the Red book, because I've introduced the "central head", as mentioned here: https://www.usacoinbook.com/coins/5658/half-cents/liberty-cap/1797-P/all-varieties/

That way no mistakes are possible.



It means we have to change the year lines (in my opinion) as shown here (the minimum is to put "Allkinds." as the first):



Please give me your thoughts about this, thanks.

Graphic looks good.

If you are going to add "centered head" to the year lines you should add it to the "1 above 1" line too as all those are centered head.
You won't be able to put "All kinds" first as the year lines are sorted "alphabetically" and 1 comes before A. You might be able to do that if you put a space before the A.
Thanks for the suggestions. I was not sure, if the the year lines were sorted or not. So one has to very carefull with renaming year lines. Do you know if the percentages are sorted according to the year line texts?

So here we go again

Looks good.

Changing the comment on the year line will not affect the percentages. For instance if you change the line with "Gripped edge." to "Mickey Mouse" it will still show 32%.

Is this the last graphic for this coin page?
Yes, that's the last of that type (km#).

I'd like to suggest one more graphic and several other changes if you could include them in your CR:

1. A graphic about the designers. Currently the coin page has the Engraver of both obverse and reverse as Robert Scot. This is true, however the designer of the obverse changed from Robert Scot for 1794 (large head) to John Smith Gardner for 1795-1797 (small head). I was thinking of something like this if you could clean it up:


2. Obverse Lettering: Putting all possible dates is not the norm. Change "(1794-7)" to "1797" that is actually on the coin pictured. "Liberty" should be changed to "LIBERTY" (all caps) since that is actually what's on the coin. Also, this is a good example of the "1 above 1" coin so consider changing to:
Lettering:
LIBERTY
1
1797

3. Still need to add the weight change. I'd suggest a new comment in the Comments Section something like this:
Weight:
1794 - 6.74 g
1795 Lettered Edge - 6.74 g
1795 Plain Edge - 5.44 g
1796 through 1797 - 5.44 g
Like this for designer & weight inserted in the comments section



The obverse lettering only when I make the CR.

Yes. Almost perfect. Change "Head turning right" to "Head facing right" to match the title.

Thanks.

Yes.
The CR has been made. Now we're just waiting for the validation from the referee.
