Lot Description

1793 C-4, B-4. Rarity-3. VF-20 (PCGS). Medium chocolate brown with lighter high points. An attractive coin for the grade with no serious marks or other distractions. From the first year of coinage operations at the fledgling Philadelphia Mint, and the only early half cent with Liberty's head to left—in effect, a one-year-only type. Well balanced for the numismatist who needs an example of this date or variety.
