Lot 791
1796 S-88 R4 Liberty Cap F12. Sharpness VF20 but covered with microscopic porosity, strongest in the field left of the cap. No verdigris and the only notable mark is a thin nick just left of the eye. The date is bold and the legends are strong except for the usual weakness inside the wreath. Slightly glossy olive and steel with lighter chocolate and steel brown toning on the devices. LDS, Breen state II. A clear die crack runs up from the dentils along the right side of the 7 to the shoulder loop above. Decent eye appeal in spite of the imperfect surfaces.
Estimated Value $800-UP.
