Lot 108
1794 C-4a R3 Liberty Cap, Head Right VF30. Small Edge Letters. Sharpness EF40 with patches of microscopic pitting, strongest at the 94, L, and TY. Otherwise the planchet is smooth and void of verdigris offering excellent eye appeal. A small, very light rim bruise at F-A is the only notable sign of contact. Glossy steel and chocolate with frost covering the protected areas on both sides. Rare LDS, Manley state 4.0, with a strong die crack from the rim down through the M in AMERICA. The die clashmarks are dull but obvious and the swelling at the lower curls is strong. In addition, the bottom of the E in HUNDRED (of the edge lettering) is defective (broken) making it appear more like an "R", which is sometimes seen on examples in the late state. The reverse is rotated 15 degrees CCW. Weight 112.7 grains. Davy #94.4.10.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
