1793 Liberty Cap Cent. S-14. Rarity-5-. VG Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS).
We note nearly complete border beading on both sides and universally bold detail throughout the design on the reverse. The obverse is less well defined, although the date is discernible with patience, the portrait is mostly outlined, and the word LIBERTY is fairly bold. Moderate granularity to the texture explains the PCGS qualifier, the surfaces with deep ruddy-brown patina overall. The bisecting obverse die crack pegs the Sheldon-14 attribution all the time. The variety is scarce, as are all die pairings of the first year 1793 Liberty Cap cent.
