August 2018 ANA U.S. Coins Auction Philadelphia, PA

Losbeschreibung: 1794 Liberty Cap Half Cent. C-4a. Rarity-3. Small Edge Letters--Struck on a Defective Planchet--VF-35 BN (NGC). Pleasingly toned in a blend of gray-brown and golden-copper patina, this intriguing example also offers bold to sharp definition to virtually all design elements. The surfaces are hard and tight with no significant post-production blemishes. Several planchet fissures are present on the obverse over and around Liberty's portrait. An interesting mid-grade survivor of the Liberty Cap half cent series that illustrates one of the many problems facing the early United States Mint (i.e., the procurement of high quality planchet stock). PCGS# 1003. Click here for certification details from NGC.
