Lot 27
1793 S-16 R6+ Liberty Cap. VG-7. Choice glossy chocolate and steel brown. The surfaces are smooth and the planchet nearly flawless, especially for the grade. The only notable marks are a few shallow nicks grouped under the R in LIBERTY, a short hairline scratch in the field left of the cap, a pinprick over the 7 in the date, and a small planchet chip at the rim over the first A in AMERICA. The date is clear and legends complete. LDS with the crack down through Y clear and swelling at the N in CENT. The reverse is rotated 165 degrees CCW from the normal head-to-foot orientation. Called VG7 by Bland and listed as tied for CC#6 in his census. Noyes says G6 and also tied for CC#6, his photo #20388. DWH #0010.
Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
