1795 Liberty Cap Cent. S-73. Rarity-5-. Lettered Edge. AG-3 BN (NGC). Pleasing deep copper patina blankets both sides of this generally smooth-looking example. A few wispy handling marks are scattered about, the most significant of which are a dig at the upper obverse border outside the letter L in LIBERTY and vertical scratch in the left field on the same side. The reverse retains less than half of the design detail, but the obverse exhibit bold outline definition to the word LIBERTY, the portrait, and the date. The diagnostic hyphen-like break between the letters RT in LIBERTY is plainly evident, confirming the very scarce Sheldon-73 attribution. PCGS# 35711. NGC ID: 223S. <strong>To view all items from the Sandra Kay Collection of Sheldon Varieties, click<a href="https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots?sort=auction_date_lot_number_asc&search=From+the+Sandra+Kay+Collection+of+Sheldon+Varieties&limit=36&lots_range=upcoming/"target=’_blank’> here.</a></strong> From the Sandra Kay Collection of Sheldon Varieties.
