1794 Liberty Cap Cent. S-46. Rarity-3. Head of 1794. EF-40 (PCGS). An overall smooth and highly appealing coin with glossy golden-brown patina throughout, warmer chocolate brown in the protected areas. A splash of darker copper-brown toning in the obverse field below the liberty cap is actually a spot of lacquer that might be removable. Full sharpness of EF-40, as certified, but there are a few contact marks, including a thin nick down through the letter T in LIBERTY into the forehead, a few more light nicks on the cheek and neck, and a short hairline scratch down through the first letter S in STATES to the wreath below.
