Lot 1024
1793 S-14 R5- Liberty Cap. About Good-3. Slightly glossy dark olive brown with chocolate toning on the highpoints. The surfaces are decent but not perfectly smooth with extremely faint roughness under the natural patina. No marks or verdigris. Basically just a well worn cent. The 3 in the date is faintly visible while the other digits require a level of imagination beyond my powers. LIBERTY is easily readable, as is most of the reverse legend, but portions are faint or missing. LDS, Breen state III. The bisecting obverse die crack is strong and there is minor swelling inside the wreath. Not at all bad for a low grade Liberty Cap 1793 cent.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
Ex Denis Loring-Thomas Wolf.
