Description
1794 Liberty Cap Cent. S-31, B-13. Rarity-1. Head of 1794. Marred Field. Incomplete Edge Detail. VF-35 (PCGS).
Deeply toned steely-copper surfaces with a tinge of pale olive and a hint of good gloss. The strike is well centered, border denticulation complete, if light in some areas, with ample sharpness to the major design elements. Both sides are microgranular in the fields, but there are no sizeable marks. A major mint error from this early large cent series, the edge lettering is blundered and reads ONE HUNA DOLLAR.
PCGS# 901374. NGC ID: 223M.
