Lot Description

1794 Liberty Cap Half Cent. C-8. Rarity-5. High-Relief Head. VG-8 (PCGS). CAC. Only about 35 examples are known of this elusive variety. This pleasing example displays a light milk-chocolate color overall. Unusually smooth surfaces with no apparent corrosion, only a single ancient mark is noted across Liberty's cheek extending into the right field. The coin is easily identifiable because it is from Die State IV, which has a reverse die break running from the rim through the second T in STATES and terminating in the wreath. This attractive coin should be seriously considered by any half cent variety specialist. Provenance: Ex Furnace Run Collection. PCGS# 35060. NGC ID: 2223.
