Lot 25
1793 NC-6 R8 Liberty Cap. Good-4 Plus. Glossy chocolate brown. The obverse is sharper, at least G5, while the reverse is slightly weaker. The planchet is reasonably smooth but there are numerous tiny nicks scattered about both sides, strongest in the field before the face and at the second T in STATES. The date and LIBERTY are strong. The reverse legends are complete and readable except for ONE CENT, which is weak due to a soft strike in that area caused by obverse die swelling at the hair under the cap. Second finest of only 2 known. Called net G4 in both census lists, but this is a really nice '93 Cap for that grade, even with the nicks. Noyes photo #21282. DWH #0006.
Estimated Value $20,000-UP.
