1793 S-12 R6- Liberty Cap. VF-20 Plus. Breen Plate Coin. Glossy chocolate brown with underlying medium brown toning on the obverse. Possibly lightly cleaned long ago, but the toning is very attractive and looks natural. The planchet is smooth and the surfaces nearly flawless. The only notable marks are two tiny pinpricks in the field under LI, another over the bust tip, a tiny nick under IC in AMERICA, and a very light rim bruise over that first A. Nicely centered and well struck. LDS, Breen state III, with strong swelling at CE in CENT. (This is the Breen plate coin for the late die state.) Called VF25 and tied for CC#2 with one other example in the Noyes census, his photo #20190. Bland says VF20 and tied for CC#2 with the same piece. (The finest is in the ANS collection, so you can’t get a better one.) A beautiful example of this very rare variety, and it comes with an impressive pedigree. DWH #0007.
Estimated Value $50,000-UP.
