Description
1793 Liberty Cap S-16, B-19 Cent, VF35
High Condition Census
Possibly the Finest Known
1793 1C Liberty Cap, S-16, B-19, R.6, VF35 PCGS. Breen Die
State I. The Philadelphia Mint coined 11,056 Liberty Cap large
cents in September 1793, from the designs by Joseph Wright. Four
obverse dies and two reverse dies were utilized to coin six
varieties, providing a significant challenge for collectors. The
S-13 die pair is seen more often than all the others, combined.
Nearly 200 of the 300 known 1793 Liberty Cap cents are identified
as S-13. Next is the S-14 Bisecting Crack variety, with about 60
known. The remaining varieties, including the present S-16, are
rated R.6 or higher.Del Bland identifies the finest known as VF25, a coin that was discovered at a Mediterranean flea market. Second best is the ANS coin that Bland grades Fine 12, and third finest is the Dr. French coin that grades VG10. Five coins graded VG8 or VG7 round out the S-16 Condition Census.
The glossy surfaces exhibit alternating diagonal bands of tan and steel, commonly called woodgrain toning, that is especially evident on the obverse. Both sides are exceptional with a thin line of planchet lamination at the lower right obverse. The sharpness appears slightly finer than the Mediterranean flea market coin, and the surfaces are nearly equal as well. The strike is imperfectly centered, although all border beads are present on both sides. This piece can easily be rated above average or Choice, and it is virtually equal to the current finest known, or perhaps slightly finer. Our EAC grade VF25. PCGS Liberty Cap Population: 8 in 35; 24 finer. PCGS S-16 Population: 1 in 35, 0 finer (11/21).
