1794 C-5a R4+ Liberty Cap, Head Right VG7. Small Edge Letters. Rather glossy olive brown with lighter chocolate brown toning covering the devices. The two-tone appearance accents the details and adds to the eye appeal, which is excellent for the grade in spite of extremely fine roughness that covers the fields and protected areas. No marks or verdigris. The date and legends are complete and clear. Rare LDS, Manley state 2.0, with strong die clashmarks at the throat and neck. This piece is the only one mentioned by Manley for the die state. Weight 99.7 grains. Davy #94.5.5.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
Ex Ray D. Munde-Roger S. Cohen, Jr., Superior 2/2/1992:27.
