1793 Liberty Cap Cent, VG Details
S-14, Rare First-Year Type

1793 1C Liberty Cap, S-14, B-17, Low R.5 -- Plugged -- PCGS Genuine. VG Details. The bold bisecting die crack between the E in LIBERTY and the 3 in the date is diagnostic for Sheldon-14, one of the few marriages of the rare 1793 Liberty Cap cent. Although designated as VG details by PCGS, the coin appears sharper than that, with complete border beading except where affected by a crudely repaired plug. The hole was above the bust tip. The hole was filled, and the bust tip was re-engraved, with evidence of smoothing on the field near the bust tip, and also on the rim above OF. The cobalt-blue surfaces are evenly granular, and the N in ONE has a white coating. Still a fairly sharp example of the rarest 1793 cent type. Our EAC grade Fair 2.
From The Ed Leigh McMillan Collection.
