1794 Liberty Cap Cent. S-28. Rarity-2+. Head of 1794. AU Details--Repaired (PCGS).A pleasing example of the beautiful Sheldon-28 variety, which Dr. Maris called "ornate" in 1869. The surfaces show an unnatural smoothed texture beneath a glass, though the eye appeal is very strong. The strike is exceptional and the focal elements are incredibly bold, framed by sharp and virtually complete denticles on both sides. Blended olive-brown and chocolate patina remains free from any significant distractions. An ancient mark above ST of STATES and minor granularity is noted on the reverse, but these are virtually invisible to the naked eye. Most often found in heavily circulated grades of EF-40 and lower, this sharp AU example offers superior detail and visual appeal for this iconic early type.PCGS# 35549. NGC ID: 223P.
