March 2020 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: Iconic 1793 Half Cent 1793 Liberty Cap Half Cent. Head Left. C-3. Rarity-3. VF-25 BN (PCGS). A bold example of this iconic issue with chocolate-brown surfaces and scattered olive patina. Magnification reveals a handful of old thin pinscratches around Liberty's truncation that have long worn into the overall complexion. Overall glossy and smooth to the naked eye, this is an ideal candidate for an Early American type set. Highly collectable in all grades, this one-year-only design type with Liberty's head facing left was minted to the tune of 35,334 pieces according to the Red Book. The typical grade for survivors seen in the marketplace today is anywhere from AG up to Fine or so, and many of the surviving specimens are porous. This satisfying VF-20 (PCGS) is an important opportunity and is sure to see intense bidding. PCGS# 1000. NGC ID: 2222. Click herefor certification details from PCGS.
