1794 C-1a R3 Liberty Cap, Head Right AG3. Triple Struck. Repunched 179. Large Edge Letters. A couple points sharper in many areas but the strike is uneven. The surfaces are decent but not perfectly smooth. A glass reveals extremely fine granularity in the fields and protected areas on both sides. No verdigris, but there are some contact marks. The notable ones are a dull dig in the field near the rim before the neck and fine hairline scratches on the left side of the obverse. This piece was struck three times. Two distinct arcs of dentils are located on the jaw and neck indicating this piece was struck 40-50% off center a couple times before the final centered strike. The date is no longer visible and slightly more than half the legends are readable. Weight 103.4 grains. Davy #94.1a.9.
Estimated Value $600-UP.
