Description

1796 Liberty Cap Cent. S-81. Rarity-3. Fine-15 (PCGS).

An impressively smooth and crisp example with a bold strike and unusually nice surfaces. Glossy steel-brown and light olive, the toning even and attractive across both sides. Totally devoid of marks and only a few tiny natural planchet pits can be found in the fields. Better struck than many of the variety with a bold ONE CENT on the reverse and reasonably sharp detail on the portrait as well. Excellent quality for a 1796 Liberty Cap cent.

PCGS# 1392. NGC ID: 223V.

From our (Stack's) Entlich, White Oak, Gross, & St. Andre Collections sale, March 2009, lot 3245; Lou Alfonso.

Estimate: $1’500.00
