Lot 100
1793 C-3 R3 Liberty Cap, Head Left Counterstamped G5. Counterstamped "R.C" in relatively large letters in the center of the obverse. The stamp is strongly and evenly impressed, and it created a bulge in the center of the reverse that obliterates most of HALF CENT. This counterstamp is not listed in Brunk. Otherwise the date is clear and the legends are readable. Slightly glossy dark olive brown with lighter chocolate toning on the devices. The planchet is covered with very fine roughness and there are streaks of fine planchet striations across the obverse from NW to SE. In addition, there is a small, curved planchet clip right of the date and at the opposing edge over F-A, but this clip does not affect any of the designs. Weight 95.7 grains. Davy #93.3.3.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
Ex Stack's 5/13/1982:932.
