1796 1C Draped Bust, Reverse of 1794--Corroded--ANACS. AU55 Details. S-108, B-12, R.4. The latest recorded die state for the variety. The obverse is cracked from the left border to the lower curls, through 96 and the drapery into the right field, from the end of this crack up to the nose, and from the other end of this crack between 96, up across the shoulder, and into the hair curls. The reverse is lapped with the right branch separated from the ribbon knot. This piece is moderately granular and has glimpses of gray verdigris on each side, yet it retains good eye appeal due to its sharpness and absence of marks. EAC 25.
