Lot 11
1794 C-4a R3 Liberty Cap, Head Right AG3+. Blundered Edge. Small Edge Letters. The obverse is slightly better and attractive for the grade while the reverse is a bit weaker and displays traces of microscopic roughness. Glossy chocolate brown with olive brown toning in protected areas. No marks or verdigris. The date is strong but only about half of the legends are clear. EDS, Manley state 1.0. The edge lettering is blundered and reads "TWO HUNDREDOR A DOLLAR" with the F impressed on top of the D in HUNDRED. The edge lettering is clear and the blunder is obvious. Yes another example of the type of error caused when the Castaing machine was improperly operated at the mint. Weight 104.1 grains. Davy #94.4a.12.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
