Description
Collectible 1796 NC-4 Cent
1796 1C Draped Bust, Reverse of 1795 VG8 NGC. VG7 EAC. NC-4, Die State I, High R.5. This is one of the "common" NC varieties. When Dr. Sheldon first wrote about the big coppers just after World War II, he devised the term Non-Collectible for those coins with three or less known. As more of a given variety were attributed, the NC changed to Now Collectible. Thus, they remained labeled NC, but the meaning changed. A few of Sheldon's NCs have become quite populous, such as this one with more than 30 examples known. Only seven were known to Dr. Sheldon in 1958. Although large cent collecting had been an active pastime for 100 years since Ed Cogan held his sealed bid cent auction in 1858, Penny Whimsy and its predecessor Early American Cents were published before the renaissance of cent collecting occurred with the formation of the Early American Coppers Club in 1967. From that time forward, the early copper specialty gained substantially in popularity, and many new discoveries were made. The example offered here is tied for 10th finest known. The surfaces are delightful with smooth medium brown color and traces of mahogany patina.Ex: Purchased unattributed by Robert Shalowitz and Jack Beymer on 1/10/1992 at the FUN convention and sold to Wes Rasmussen the following day.(#1401) (Registry values: N491)
