Lot 275
1796 Liberty Cap Cent. . S-88, R4. Good-5 Clipped Planchet. Lightly cleaned and retoned glossy light olive brown with hints of light bluish steel overtone. Smooth surfaces and only a few trivial marks, including a tiny rim nick off the end of the chin. Late die state, Breen state II, showing a die crack from the rim up through the right side of the 7 in the date to the portrait above. The date is strong and the legends are complete except for ONE CENT, which is only partially visible due to the usual weak strike in the center of the reverse. A curved planchet clip nearly touches the bottom of the 7 in the date. Comes with a Del Bland grading card as G6.
Estimated Value $300 - 600.
Ex Don Valenziano 7/28/90-Daniel W. Holmes, Jr.
