Lot 401
1793 C-2 R3 Liberty Cap. PCGS graded VF-30. CAC. Beautiful glossy medium brown and light chocolate. Smooth and virtually perfect, a tiny tick over the M in AMERICA is the only notable mark and it is trivial. Nicely struck and superb in every way with just light wear on the devices. EDS. The fields are smooth with no die rust evident on either side. Struck with the reverse rotated 45 degrees clockwise from a normal head-to-foot die orientation (not uncommon for this variety). Throw out the price guides for this one; it is special! Our grade is VF35, slightly higher than the PCGS grade. The attribution and Widok Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 6 finer. (PCGS # 35006) Value $25,000 - UP
