1796 S-109 R3 Draped Bust, Reverse of 1794 PCGS graded AU55+, CAC ApprovedVery attractive frosty steel brown and with tan and light steel brown covering the protected areas on both sides. Smooth and flawless except for a few trivial contact marks. The notable marks are a pair of dull rim nicks at the L in LIBERTY, a faint hairline scratch close over the hair ribbon, and a nick very close before the nose even with the bottom of the eye. M-LDS, Breen state IV late. A strong radial die crack reaches from the rim down through the upright of the T in LIBERTY and fades into the hair below the ear. The earlier die crack from the lowest curl passes through the top of the date before meandering through the bust and passing to the rim off the bust tip. This is a very attractive cent with a sharp, even strike. Graded AU50 net EF45 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #59088. Not seen by Bland. Our grade is AU50 net EF45 as well. The second finest is graded VF30 and it is impounded in the ANS Collection, so this one really stands out. A prize for an advanced collection.Certificate Number: 35798.55+/32782907Pedigree: Ex Virgil M. Brand-Brand Estate-Byron G.
