Lot 113
1794 C-8 R5 Liberty Cap, Head Right G6. Sharpness near VF30 but corroded, strongest on the obverse. The entire obverse is covered with fine to moderate porosity and similar roughness shows at UNITED while the remainder of the reverse is relatively smooth and glossy. Olive brown and dark chocolate with lighter toning on the highpoints. There are a few areas of very shallow reddish verdigris and the only marks of any significance are a rim nick over the E in LIBERTY and another at the I in UNITED. The date and legends are complete and easily readable in spite of the roughness. LDS, Manley state 2.0. The die crack down through the second T in STATES is strong. The reverse is slightly misaligned to the bottom and is rotated 15 degrees CCW. Weight 99.1 grains. Davy #94.8.5.
Estimated Value $600-UP.
