Lot Title:
|
1796 Reverse of 1794.
|
|
Description:
|
As a date, any 1796 large cent is scarce (and some draped bust coins are downright rare). The present example is an S-109 (R3+) attributed by a lump of metal under the "E" in "UNITED," coupled with a leaning "6" in the date. For the Red Book collector, it is a "reverse of 1794" type. Although details of at least VF-30 are present, along with attractive surface quality and color, it appears that the fields have been smoothed at some point. Despite its appearance as a $2500 coin, astute bidders will realize the opportunity presented here to obtain a scarce coin for an agreeable discount over a truly issue-free example.
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.
