Large Cents
1796 1C Liberty Cap, S-86, B-7, R.5, Good 4 PCGS. Our EAC grade: sharpness of Good 4, net AG3. Although the PCGS holder identifies the variety as S-87, this coin really represents the S-86 variety, with the leaf at the toe of E in UNITED. The steel-brown surfaces show slight granularity and the obverse is sharper than the reverse. A rim nick is evident on the obverse at 9 o'clock. Most of the reverse legend is weak but legible.
Ex: Superior (2/1999), lot 2017.
