Lot 344
1796 S-90 R5+ Liberty Cap VG8+. Attractive glossy medium steel brown and light chocolate blending to reddish chocolate in protected areas. The surfaces are smooth and the only marks are a couple small rim nicks at the bottom of the reverse plus one more over the T in UNITED. Nicely struck with a strong date and complete legends, although the denominator is relatively weak. Struck with the reverse upset oriented head-to-head rather than head-to-foot (the normal large cent die orientation). This rare variety is usually found in very low grades; this one is clearly above average. At the lower end of the expanded condition census for the variety. Estimate Value $3,500 - UP
