Lot 485		1793 C-3 R3 Liberty Cap PCGS graded VF20. Rather frosty medium brown blending to light chocolate with a swipe of dark olive brown toning near the rim right of the lower curls. The surfaces are perfectly smooth but slightly dull from a thin layer of natural oxidation, and it appears this half cent has never been brushed.

The scratch is effectively obscured by a bit of dirt making the scratch look like microscopic crud tucked up against the profile.

The bottom edge of the date is starting to flow into the rim below but all 4 digits are clearly visible and the legends are complete. EDS, Breen state I, before any die clashmarks.
