		Desperate for an engraver, Rittenhouse engaged the aging Robert Scot, an English born watchmaker and banknote engraver.
		Unfortunately Scot’s limited talents as a die engraver, exacerbated by his advancing years and failing eyesight, provided the Mint with marginal designs at best.
		Over the next decade, Scot’s replacements for Reich’s designs were certainly no artistic leap forward, and are most likely a reflection of the lingering professional jealousy the tenured Scot harbored for the talented Reich.

		Using Stuart's sketch, transferred to a relief model by John Eckstein, Scot engraved the dies for the new half dime.
		The coin was again minted in 1800 with the same Draped Bust obverse, but with a new reverse by Robert Scot that copied the heraldic eagle device from the Great Seal of the United States.

		The previous Draped Bust half cent design, engraved by Scot from a drawing by Gilbert Stuart, featured a Revolutionary War era portrait of Liberty.
		In its day, Reich's Liberty was cruelly characterized as the "artist's fat mistress." The unmistakable European influence may have seemed a bit foreign to Americans, but it was practical coinage, and this Liberty was used with modifications long after Reich's departure from the Mint.
