LOT 16

1793 S-14 R5- Liberty Cap G6 A couple points sharper but covered with uniform microscopic roughness under slightly glossy dark olive brown and steel toning. No verdigris and the only marks are a light horizontal scratch to the right from the upper lip, a dull rim nick over the B in LIBERTY, and another tiny rim nick off the bust tip. The date is weak but complete and easily readable, and the legends are strong except for some weakness on ONE CENT. MDS with the usual bisecting die crack on the obverse. A decent lower grade Liberty Cap cent. $12,500
