Description
1794 Liberty Cap Cent. S-63, B-37. Rarity-2. Head of 1794, Fallen 4. EF-45 BN (NGC).
A visually striking die variety, which Dr. Sheldon referred to as the "Drunken Diecutter's Obverse" and one look at the seeming careless engraving of the date shows this. A charming relic of the handmade nature of early American dies, this example displays a light caramel-brown tone with light lilac-olive accents. Some light marks are noted from its time in commerce. An early die state with the die lines protruding from the dentils on the right obverse periphery, the heaviest of which sticks out into the field to the right of the 4 in the date. An attractive EF coin that will certainly delight any collector of large cents.
PCGS# 901374. NGC ID: 223M.
From the Tom Hyland Collection.
