LOT 114 1796 S-87 R3 Liberty Cap VF25 Ten points sharper but there are fine hairlines covering most of both sides, possibly from an improper brushing. No roughness or verdigris, and the eye appeal of this cent is excellent. The notable marks are a fine hairline scratch from the eyebrow to the top of the cap and a small nick in the field left of the bottom of the cap. Glossy light brown with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints and tan in protected areas. M-LDS, Breen state III, with subtle swelling at the 6 in the date, fine die cracks on the obverse, and obvious die rust around the U in UNITED. Graded VF30 net VF20 and tied for CC#20 in the Noyes census, his photo #62359. An attractive Liberty Cap cent in spite of the hairlines. $8,500
