Lot 168
1796 S-104 R3 LIHERTY Obverse VF25. Sharpness very close to mint state but this piece is covered with uniform fine granularity under somewhat glossy greenish olive brown toning. It has the look of a piece that was lost in soil when it was new or nearly so and found after enough time for the elements to delicately texture and patinate the surfaces. There is no trace of verdigris and no contact marks. EDS, Breen state I, before any cracks or die rust. The LIHERTY error (the H is actually a B over an inverted B) is bold. Certainly one of the sharpest examples known of the popular LIHERTY error.
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
