Lot Description

1794 Liberty Cap Half Cent. C-2a, B-2b. Rarity-2. Normal Head. Good-4 BN (PCGS). Sandy-tan highlights to otherwise dark-brown toning, the surfaces heavily worn, yet with considerable boldness of detail remaining on the obverse. The reverse is a bit more softly defined with some of the major design elements difficult to discern. There are no significant detractions for an early date Half Cent that saw this extensive circulation, and a few minor planchet flaws in the right-obverse field are as struck.
