Liberty Cap large cent

The coin features an image of the goddess of Liberty and her accompanying Phrygian cap.

The Liberty Cap large cent, designed by Joseph Wright, was issued by the Mint from 1793 to 1796.

[citation needed] The Liberty Cap half cent was designed not by Wright, however, but by Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, Robert Scot.

[citation needed] Due to the differences in individual dies used in the coin dies used to produce these coins, there are over one hundred known varieties for the series.

Some of these varieties greatly influences the value of the coin for collectors.
