Lot 65
1796 S-88 R4 Liberty Cap. PCGS graded VF-30. Slightly glossy dark steel and olive brown. The planchet is covered with uniform extremely faint roughness that dulls the natural gloss a bit, but not enough to cause a "no-grade" assessment by PCGS. No verdigris and only a few microscopic marks, including a couple faint hairlines on the neck and a thin diagonal nick in the field under the cap. Nicely struck EDS, Breen state I. The obverse die is uncracked and ONE CENT is fully struck up (which is unusual for this variety). Graded VF30 net VF20 by Noyes, his photo #62628.Our grade is VF25+ sharpness net VF20. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are shown on the PCGS Secure label. Pop 1; 1 finer in EF45 at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 35771) .
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
