Lot 104
1794 C-4a R3 Liberty Cap, Head Right F12. Small Edge Letters. Choice glossy light olive and chocolate brown. Smooth and virtually flawless offering outstanding eye appeal. The best identifying mark, and it takes a good glass to see it, is a tiny pinprick-like planchet chip in the field close before the eye. Rare EDS, Manley state 1.0, without any trace of die clashmarks before the neck and no hint of swelling at the lowest curl. The reverse is rotated 15 degrees CCW from a perfect head-to-foot die orientation. A premium mid-grade half cent in every respect; the rare die state is a bonus. Weight 105.4 grains. Davy #94.4.11.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
