LOT 106

1796 S-83 R4 Liberty Cap F12 Sharpness F15 or slightly better but there are very faint hairline scratches covering the highpoints of the portrait and traces of shallow crud in the field around CENT. A tiny nick in the field off the chin and a thin planchet lamination across the end of the pole are the only other marks of any significance. Glossy medium chocolate brown and steel. Nicely struck EDS, Breen state I, with an uncracked obverse. The date is bold and the legends are strong. This cent has decent eye appeal for the grade in spite of the light contact marks. $2,750
