Minted from 1793-1796
The Liberty Cap Cent was the first type of one-cent coin minted by the United States. It was produced from 1793 to 1796 and was replaced by the Draped Bust Cent in 1796.
The Liberty Cap Cent was designed by Joseph Wright and features a bust of Liberty facing right, with a cap on a pole behind her. The reverse design features a wreath with a small eagle at the top.
In terms of value, the Liberty Cap Cent can range from several hundred dollars for a low-grade example of the third variety, up to tens of thousands of dollars for a high-grade example of the first variety.
The value of the coin is determined by its rarity, condition, and historical significance.
Overall, the Liberty Cap Cent is a fascinating piece of American numismatic history and a must-have for serious collectors.
