Description
Sharp AU Sheldon-31
1794 Liberty Cap Cent. S-31, B-13. Rarity-1. Head of 1794, Marred Field. AU-53 BN (NGC).
A lovely example of the Marred Field 1794 cent, so named for a series of die lumps in the obverse field opposite 9 o'clock, between the bottom corner of the cap and the four upper strands of Liberty's flowing locks. Nice, hard surfaces have a glossy, olive-gray brown patina that is visually striking. Light wear is noted on both sides, and there are some superficial traces of contact here and there, visible only with magnification, and none are singularly distracting or worthy of mention. This is a very pleasing example for the date or variety, and will be at home in a carefully assembled type set, or in an advanced early copper cabinet.
PCGS# 35558. BASE PCGS# 901374. NGC ID: 223M.
From the Tom Hyland Collection. Earlier from Joel Harwin, February 5, 1984, at the Long Beach Exo; Doug Bird, April 12, 1985; Wes Rasmussen; Heritage's FUN Signature Sale of January 2005, lot 3037.
