1796 S-101 R5- Draped Bust VG10 Five points sharper with extremely fine granularity covering all but the highpoints which are smooth. No verdigris and the only marks are a couple faint hairline scratches at the lowest curl and an obvious rim nick or planchet chip on the rim over ES in STATES. Slightly glossy light to medium olive brown and steel. EDS without any die cracks. Struck with the obverse misaligned to K-5. $2,500 Ex Richard Picker 12/7/1964-Jackson Storm (via Denis Loring) 7/31/1984-Jack H. Robinson, Superior 1/29/1989:182 (includes the Storm collection envelope and Robinson lot ticket)

LOT 136 1796 S-102 R4 Draped Bust VG10 Slightly sharper but there is a dull pinch on the rim before the face and very faint hairline scratches hidden in the toning in the fields on both sides. Rather glossy olive brown with lighter brown toning covering the highpoints. The two-tone appearance accents the devices and this piece has excellent eye appeal for the grade. MDS, Breen state II, with a die crack at BE in LIBERTY. Comes with a nice provenance. $1,950

Ex Tom Morley (who preferred two-tone cents like this one) 4/12/1985-Jack H. Robinson, Superior 1/29/1989:185 (lot ticket included)
