Lot Description

1794 Liberty Cap Half Cent. C-6a. Rarity-5+. Small Edge Letters. Good-4 (PCGS). Even deep brown patina to both sides, the surfaces are quite rough overall with numerous tiny marks scattered about. There are few sizeable distractions, however, the most significant of which are evident on Liberty's neck, at the digit 4 in the date, and near the left reverse border. Isolated peripheral areas are devoid of denticulation, but all devices are discernible, and most are boldly outlined. The Small Edge Letters is the more plentiful variant of this die marriage, but the 1794 C-6 is a scarce variety in an absolute sense with examples always in demand among specialists. PCGS# 35048.
