    The Liberty Cap largecents of 1793-1796 are the classics of early American copper coinage. Theyrepresent the third step in the infant Philadelphia Mint’s quest for apermanent cent design, succeeding the Chain and Wreath cents that began the newdecimal coinage early in 1793. This third design was created by Joseph Wright,a New Jersey native and portraitist whose most famous works were his 1783paintings of George and Martha Washington. In August 1793, Wright began work atthe Mint as an engraver and die-sinker under the renowned scientist, MintDirector David Rittenhouse.
