Large Cents
1796 1C Reverse of 1795, S-97, B-20, R.3, PCGS Genuine. Our EAC grade: sharpness of XF40, net VG8. Breen Die State II. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of a XF specimen that has been damaged. Both sides of this olive and steel-brown cent exhibit light granularity, and the surfaces are covered in fine scratches.
