Lot 120
1794 C-9 R2 Liberty Cap, Head Right Electrotype Copy in White Metal VG8. Slightly sharper, especially on the obverse, but the surfaces are covered with extremely fine granularity. The only mark is a light rim bruise left of the lowest curl. There is no trace of copper plating, and the piece has the look of a cast copy except for the seam around the edge, which is consistent with an electrotype copy. The date is clear and the legends are complete but not strong. The edge in plain (not lettered) and the planchet is thicker than normal for a genuine half cent. Weight 136.5 grains. Davy #94.9.9.
Estimated Value $50-UP.
