Lot Title: 1796 Crowded Head/Triple Leaf Under "T" (S-89, R-3). F details, corroded.
Description: Despite considerable loss of detail to the effects of circulation, all devices are prominently visible, and even both rims remain mostly present. Coffee-bean dark patina helps to mask the fairly mild effects of fine porosity on each side, disturbed only by a tiny dig on the right side of the obverse and a pair of dull bumps on the lower obverse rim. 1795 and LIBERTY are both very bold. EAC 5.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

1796 (S-81) PCGS XF-40.
For either the Liberty cap or the draped bust type, 1796 is always a very difficult issue in the large-cent series to locate nice, yet this example would look just as presentable in or outside the...
108The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$390.00
1796 (S-91, R-3) F.
Cents of either type for 1796 are devilishly difficult in any sort of decent condition, so this example will have no difficulty finding a new collection to upgrade. The reverse is the nicer side,...

1796 Crowded Head/ Triple Leaf Under "T" (S-89, R-3). F.
Much dentilation remains on both rims, though the consistently dark cappuccino-brown coloration lacks the contrast needed to embolden the details. A small dig on the right side of the obverse and a...

1796 Reverse of 1796, S-91, R-3. PCGS VF-20.
This "very wide date" issue always depicts a die failure on the obverse midway between the rim and the nose. Its surfaces have a rich mahogany brown aspect. Some localized planchet roughness appears...
212The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$1,800.00
1796 S-87 NGC VF-20 BN.
