1793 Liberty Cap Half Cent. Head Left. C-3. Rarity-3. Fine Details--Scratch (PCGS).

Uniformly bold detail remains to the major design elements on both sides of this desirable circulated type candidate. Originally and attractively toned in blended medium brown and olive-copper, as well, scratches in and around the central obverse and at the lower reverse border explain the PCGS qualifier, but are minimally distracting in hand. Struck in the first year of coinage operations at the Mother Mint in Philadelphia, the 1793 half cent is the only date of the Flowing Hair, Liberty Cap type with Liberty's head facing to the viewer's left. As such, the demand from half cent specialists and type collectors is strong for examples at all level of preservation.

PCGS# 1000. NGC ID: 2222.

Estimate: $3’000.00
