Lot 1506
1793 Liberty Cap Cent. . S-13. S-13. Sharpness of Good-4. Porous planchet and some heavy obverse scratches. A key date due to its low mintage (11,056), high recognition level by early collectors, and just its overall significane numismatically during the opening states of the Philadelphia Mint. The color is steel gray to charcoal with normal light porosity in the fields (less so on the lighter brown profile of Liberty). The reverse design is more heavily affected by the rough surface to the point where only half the legends are visible, and ONE CENT can barely be seen. The rims, however, are in presentable condition for a coin that may have been buried or at least kept in a humid/moist environment in the past.
Estimated Value $1,250 - 1,500.
