1796 S-106 R4+ Draped Bust PCGS graded MS63 BrownLooks choice mint state but there is a hint of friction on the highpoints, and this cent appears to have been dipped long ago. Nicely retoned frosty steel brown and olive with traces of mellowed red in protected areas on the obverse. No spots or stains, and the only marks are some tiny planchet flakes near the rim under the date and bust plus a single flake or dull nick just right of the E in ONE. MDS, Breen state III, with a fine bisecting crack across the obverse and die clashmarks on the reverse. Graded AU50 and tied for CC#3 in the Bland census. Noyes says AU55 net EF40 and CC#4, his photo #25163. Our grade is net EF45+. A very impressive cent that comes with a superior provenance.Certificate Number: 35789.63/57516987Pedigree: Ex Dr. George P. French, B. Max Mehl 1929 FPL, lot 132 (as UNC)-T.
