Description
1793 S-14, B-17 Cent, VF20
The Bisecting Crack
1793 1C Liberty Cap, S-14, B-17, Low R.5, VF20 PCGS. CAC.
All examples of the S-14 Liberty Cap cent have a prominent, nearly
vertical bisecting die crack from the E in LIBERTY across the bust
to the 3 in the date. That crack is visible on nearly all surviving
examples except for those in the lowest grades. The present piece,
with the die crack boldly evident, shows that the die actually
separated slightly and was on two planes. Note the sharper detail
to the right of the crack. Although below the S-14 condition
census, this example is far finer than most survivors. The pleasing
bluish-steel surfaces show a few splashes of lighter brown on each
side. Minor rim bumps are noted but do not distract from the
overall pleasing appearance of this piece that has inconsequential
handling marks. Population for all 1793 Liberty Cap varieties: 10
in 20; 45 finer (11/23).From The J&J and R&R Gobrecht's Raisinet Collection.
