Description

1796 S-84 Liberty Cap Cent, AU53
Beautiful Chocolate and Mahogany Hues

1796 1C Liberty Cap, S-84, B-5, R.3, AU53 NGC. Breen Die State I. Deep, chocolate-steel surfaces are imbued with regions of mahogany-brown to create a sumptuous aroma of hues. A nick in front of the nose and a couple around OF are mentioned not because they are major, but because they are the only ones, and as such, aid in pedigree identification. The 1796 Liberty Cap die marriages range from R.3 to R.5, making this one of the more available varieties. The present offering is a representative of the prime die state, before the crack at OF forms.
From The Brittany Legacy Collection, Part III.
