1796 1C LIHERTY, S-104, B-45, R.3, Fine 12 NGC. When the die sinker prepared this obverse, he inadvertently punched the B in LIBERTY upside down, and then rotated his punch 180 degrees to cut that letter in the die. Serifs from the inverted B are visible at the top and bottom right of the repunched letter, giving the appearance of an H in LIBERTY to that obverse die. A few scattered marks are noted, with microscopic verdigris visible on each side. This piece exhibits intermingled tortilla-brown, olive, and umber toning on the obverse with olive-brown on the reverse. Our EAC grade VG8.
