详细说明: 1794 Liberty Cap Cent. S-71. Rarity-2. Head of 1795. EF-45 (PCGS). Beautiful deep mahogany surfaces are hard and satiny with no notable distractions. Both sides are sharply struck and nicely centered on a thick planchet, its quality outstanding with no laminations or other flaws in evidence. Closer inspection reveals a couple tiny circular impressions, one in the field below the cap and another atop the fourth lock of hair. Examples from the S-71 die marriage were delivered December 18 to 24, 1794. The device punch for Liberty's portrait on this variety is credited to John Smith Gardner, who probably used a specimen of the S-45 variety as a prototype for his low relief copy of Scot's Second Head. The present example is an uncommonly well produced and preserved example of both the type and variety, and it is sure to have no difficulty finding its way into an advanced early copper collection. PCGS# 1365. NGC ID: 223M. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
