Description
1793 Liberty Cap Cent, Fair 2
Reverse of S-12 and S-15
1793 1C Liberty Cap, S-12, B-21, Low R.6, Fair 2 PCGS. This
cent poses a challenge for the specialist as the attribution is
uncertain. The reverse is clearly the die that is shared between
S-12 and S-15. However, the obverse identification is problematic.
It is the unwavering opinion of Bill Noyes and Dan Demeo that this
is S-15. The cataloger and Jim Neiswinter are less sure, and
believe this is possibly an S-12. When Hollinbeck-Kagin offered
this coin in 1965, they noted that Dr. Sheldon was unsure of the
obverse attribution, and when they offered the coin in 1973, they
wrote that it is "impossible to be absolutely sure." However,
Superior offered the coin as S-15 in their January 1996 sale
without mentioning the uncertainty. The top of the L in LIBERTY is
complete, suggesting S-12. The ER in LIBERTY appears to touch, also
suggesting S-12. Alternatively, the spacing of IBE and the spacing
of the date elements both suggest S-15. This piece has smooth and
attractive surfaces with a "woodgrain" toning pattern of olive and
steel-brown. Both sides have insignificant circulation marks that
are consistent with the grade. Our EAC grade Fair 2.Ex: Christian Peterson; Hollinbeck Kagin (2/1965), lot 154; Hollinbeck Kagin (1/1973), lot 234; Denis Loring; Dr. C.R. Chambers (7/1973); Richard Punchard; Robinson S. Brown, Jr. (Superior, 1/1996), lot 20; Southwest Collection, via Larry Briggs.
