Lot 139
1794 Liberty Cap Half Cent. . C-4b, R7. About Good-3 Plus, Large Edge Letters. Sharpness near VG10 but covered with moderate corrosion under a mostly glossy dark olive and chocolate patina. No verdigris, but the patina is rather thick. The only notable mark is a dull dig at the rim left of the bottom of the cap. The date and legends are complete and easily readable, and most of the large edge lettering is clear. An imperfect but certainly acceptable example of this extremely rare sub-variety, at the lower end of the condition census.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 5,000.
