Lot Description

1794 Liberty Cap Cent. S-24. Rarity-1. Head of 1794. EF-40 (PCGS). Lovely medium brown and olive-copper color to both sides. The surfaces are microgranular with a few light scratches and shallow edge bruises scattered about. In hand, however, this coin presents as quite smooth for a lightly circulated early date large cent. The obverse of this variety always appears rough due to die rust on Liberty's lower neck and in the date area. A bit lightly struck in the centers, yet quite sharp elsewhere, this is an eminently collectible example of the Scarred Head variety of the 1794 Liberty Cap cent issue. Provenance: From our (Stack's) sale of May 5-6, 1998, lot 147. Lot tag included. PCGS# 901374. NGC ID: 223M. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
