Lot 136
1793 S-13 R4- Liberty Cap VG10. Sharpness VF25 but covered with uniform very fine granularity under rather glossy dark olive brown and steel toning. No verdigris, and the only marks are a couple light rim bruises on each side, the notable ones being left of the top of the cap and over ST in STATES, plus a small pit in the hair left of the earlobe. Nicely struck early die state. The obverse is centered on the planchet. The reverse is slightly off center to K-8 but the border beads are complete. The date and legends are strong. This cent offers decent eye appeal in spite of the imperfect surfaces, especially for the very difficult Liberty Cap type of 1793.
Estimated Value $12,500-UP.
From the Benson Collection.
