Description
1793 S-14, B-17 Liberty Cap Cent, XF45
Distinctive Bisecting Crack Variety
1793 1C Liberty Cap, S-14, B-17, Low R.5, XF45 PCGS. The
bisecting obverse die crack from the E in LIBERTY through the bust
to the 3 in the date provides immediate identification of this
important Liberty Cap cent variety. The hair detail to the right of
the die crack is sharper than the detail to the left of the crack,
indicating that the obverse die was on different planes. The
always-present die crack is visible on all examples of the variety,
even in the lowest grades, while it is clearly visible on this
example.The glossy surfaces exhibit a blend of reddish-gold, chocolate, and steel-brown toning on both sides of this census-level piece that Bill Noyes ranks as fourth finest, tied with two similarly graded pieces. Trivial marks are evident on each side, although none are distracting. This is an impressive example of the variety that ranks as one of the five finest S-14 cents that PCGS has attributed, and it is recorded as third best in the PCGS CoinFacts census of the variety. Population for all 1793 Liberty Cap varieties: 6 in 45, 15 finer (3/24).
