1793 S-12 R6- Liberty Cap Large Cent PCGS VG New Cumberland Collection

NCC-014: 1793 S-12 Liberty Cap, R6-, PCGS VG Details, EAC VG8+ net G5.  PCGS as VG Details Exc. Corrosion.  That damage manifests as evenly rough surfaces on both sides, slightly deeper around the hair but certainly NOT excessive, plus an assortment of minor contact marks, the most notable of which is an obverse rim bump at K5 and a dull dent near the chin.  Details are strong VG: you can make out most of the beaded border on the obverse, while every single bead is bold on the reverse.  Typical swelling at reverse center makes ONE CENT weak, but the date is in-your-face bold and the S-12 attribution is quite easy.  There are 29 examples recorded in Numistudy V6, but this isn’t one of them!  Looking at the known examples, this should be net G5 and one of the top 18 coins for this tough variety.  PCGS VG Detail Exc.
