Liberty Cap Half Cent
1793 Liberty Cap Half Cent. Head Left. C-3. Rarity-3. Fair-2 (PCGS).
A wholesome and appealing example for the assigned grade, Liberty's portrait is complete, as is much of the word LIBERTY. Additionally, the top of the date is discernible. The reverse is worn nearly smooth, but with patience one can discern enough of the numerator in the fraction and the surrounding ribbon to identify the reverse die. When taken in conjunction with the diagnostics on the obverse, the C-3 attribution is confirmed. Problem free despite having seen extensive commercial use with even, original medium brown patina. An excellent type candidate for the collector assembling a "Low Ball" set on the PCGS Registry.
PCGS# 1000. NGC ID: 2222.
