| Notes | This historic 1794 Liberty Cap Large Cent represents a foundational piece of early American history, struck during just the second year of large cent production at the nascent Philadelphia Mint. Designed by Joseph Wright and later modified by Chief Engraver Robert Scot, the obverse features a classic portrait of Lady Liberty accompanied by a pole-mounted Phrygian cap symbolizing the nation's new freedom. As a 'raw' specimen, this coin remains uncertified by third-party grading services, offering collectors an excellent opportunity to evaluate its genuine eye appeal and honest, structural character firsthand. Because individual dies were handcrafted in 1794, this copper cent carries a distinct personality, making it an essential acquisition for enthusiasts of early American copper and die varieties. |
