Lot 380
1796 S-84 R3 Liberty Cap G6. Off Center. A couple points sharper with fine granularity under a mostly glossy dark olive and steel brown patina. No verdigris, and the only significant marks are a dig at the rim left of the cap and a trio of smaller nicks near the rim left of the lower curls. EDS, Breen state I. Struck 5-10% off center to K-4.5 leaving the bottom of the 6 off the planchet. The remainder of the date and legends are clear. Removed from an NCS slab graded "VG details with environmental damage" (NCS label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #2854.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
