Lot 274
1794 Liberty Cap Cent. . S-63. Del Bland graded VF-25. Sharpness of Extremely Fine 40 but the entire obverse rim shows evidence of being filed down and in the field opposite Liberty are two very long, hairline scratches. Cleaned and retoned to a darkish steel color with a huge dark red area on the lower left reverse and small spots right of Y and over F where corrosion was removed. Still a beautiful cent which possesses a lot of charm.
