Lot 186
1796 S-110 R3+ Draped Bust. VF-30. Sharpness AU50 but there is a strong nick or thin dent from the rim down through the F in OF and another strong nick in the leaves under the T in CENT. The mark at the F is so strong it caused a very slight bulge at the rim just right of the date. Otherwise this cent is sharp and nearly choice with excellent eye appeal. Glossy medium brown and chocolate with some lighter brown toning around the E in CENT. LDS, Breen state IX, with a strong cud break connecting TY to the rim. Called AU55 net VF35 and tied for CC#9 in the Bland census. Noyes says AU55 net VF30 and tied for CC#6, his photo #26696. Removed from an NCS slab graded Uncirculated details with reverse damage (NCS label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #2863.
Estimated Value $6,000-UP.
