Lot 10
1793 C-1 R3+ Liberty Cap, Head Left PCGS graded XF45. Very attractive glossy chocolate and darker steel brown with small spots of silvery brown toning in the dentils over STATE, most likely caused by incomplete alloy mixing. No corrosion or verdigris. There are some microscopic planchet chips in the obverse fields (as struck) and a couple small contact marks. The notable marks are a dull nick near the dentils just left of the date and a small pinprick under the B in LIBERTY. Nicely struck EDS, Manley state 1.0. HALF CENT is fully struck and there are no die striations in the field before the portrait. Well centered on the planchet; the border beads are complete around both sides. This piece offers excellent eye appeal, especially for a Head Left Liberty Cap. Our grade is VF30. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
Estimated Value $12,000-UP.
