1793 Liberty Cap Half Cent. Head Left. C-1. Rarity-3+. VG Details--Corrosion (NGC).More affordable quality for this eagerly sought one year type from the inception of half cent production in the United States Mint. The obverse retains outline definition to most major design elements, Libertys portrait, the word LIBERTY and the date 1793 all discernible. The reverse is weaker with some areas worn smooth, although most of the wreath is identifiable with patience. Dark charcoal-copper patina throughout with a rough, pitted texture that explains the NGC qualifier.
