Anyone have a picture of a gripped edge?

and does it go all the way around the coin or just sections?
I am looking at a 1797 half cent

1797 two edge varieties;
1797 Lettered Edge
1797 Gripped Edge
and plain edge Thanks for the correction

Round marks, much like punch marks, on the outside rim of a coin - rare on 1797 half cents, slightly more common on large cents of the same year.

I believe that plain edge would be the third.

If you have a Redbook handy look at the picture for the 1797 gripped edge large cent. The half cent edge should look similar and no it may not go all the way around. If you look closely at the grip marks you should see that they are alternating shapes something like [( )] [( )]
I have a 2003 redbook, and the small picture looks to me like it is a series of incuse dots
does the alternating shapes make incuse dots?
if the coin is worn to below AG3, will anything be seen?
pattern than on the 1797.
