Lot 165
1796 S-116 R5- Draped Bust G4. The obverse is slightly better while the reverse is a bit weaker (which is typical for Draped Bust 1796 cents), the G4 grade an average of the two. Glossy steel brown and chocolate. No roughness or verdigris, only minor contact marks consistent with the grade. The bottom edge of the date is starting to wear in to the rim but it is easily readable and nearly complete. EDS. A decent low-grade example of this tough die variety. Estimated Value $500-UP
