Lot 7
1793 S-13 R4- Liberty Cap. PCGS graded AU-53. Mostly glossy dark olive brown and steel with slightly lighter steel brown toning on the highpoints. Peeps of frosty luster show in some of the protected areas on the reverse. The planchet is smooth except for some tiny pre-striking planchet chips in the center of the reverse. Only a few minor contact marks. These include a very light rim bruise at the top of the cap, another over BE in LIBERTY, a thin vertical nick on the ear, and a diagonal one high on the forehead. None of these marks is at all distracting and the eye appeal is excellent. EDS, Breen state I, prior to the minor bulge at NT in CENT. Nicely struck showing all the border beads on both sides on a broad planchet. The obverse is slightly off center to K-7 while the reverse is off a bit to K-10. Graded EF45 net EF40 and tied for CC#6 honors in the Noyes census, his photo #56000. Our grade is EF45. A great 1793 Liberty Cap Cent. The attribution and Paul Gerrie provenance are shown on the PCGS label. Pop 2; 1 finer in 55.
Estimated Value $100,000-UP.
