Lot 173
1796 S-110 R3 Draped Bust PCGS Genuine. Sharpness EF40 or better but recolored a very attractive glossy chocolate brown fading to dark chocolate and olive brown in the protected areas. The surfaces are smooth and nearly void of marks. The only mark is a faint vertical hairline scratch up from the right top of the N in ONE, and it is barely visible. Sharply struck terminal die state (TDS), Breen state IX, with a strong cud break at TY in LIBERTY and numerous die cracks elsewhere on the obverse. A beautiful cent in spite of the recoloring. Called AU55 net VF35 by Del Bland. Our grade is EF40 sharpness net VF35. The attribution and Reiver-Scheide provenance are shown on the PCGS label.
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.
