1796 1C Draped Bust, Reverse of 1794, LIHERTY, S-103, B-27, R.4 -- Surfaces Smoothed -- PCGS Genuine. AU Details. Ex: Husak Collection. Breen Die State I. This very sharp cent was lightly burnished and nicely retoned to a glossy medium chocolate brown with lighter brown in the protected areas of the reverse. There is a trace of extremely fine roughness hidden in the hair left of the neck, a tiny dimple on the jaw, a small flake under the eye, and a pit or small punch mark in the dentils over the left side of the Y in LIBERTY. The die crack through AMERIC is faint. Graded EF40 net VF20 and CC#7 in the Noyes census, his photo #22397. Bland says AU50 net VF35 and CC#6. Our EAC grade is net VF35. A very attractive cent despite the defects, and the LIHERTY error is bold. Comes with a very nice provenance. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
