BEAUTIFUL S-85

LOT 112 1796 S-85 R5- Liberty Cap VF20 Very attractive glossy uniform medium chocolate brown. Smooth and choice except for a few old, fine scratches in the field below the cap, and these scratches blend perfectly into the natural toning. Otherwise the only mark is a small, light nick at the truncation above the 9 in the date. Nicely struck with a bold date and strong legends. EDS, Breen state I, before lapping was done on the reverse die. A very nice example of a variety that is difficult to find in grades above Fine. $4,500
