Description du lot

1796 Draped Bust Cent. S-103. Rarity-4. LIHERTY Error. Fine-12 (PCGS). Richly toned in deep chocolate-brown with lighter medium brown to the design elements on the obverse, a trace of gloss further enhances the visual appeal of this exceptionally smooth and inviting Fine example. Apart from a couple of trivial indentations in the right obverse field -- easily overlooked -- the surfaces are free of mentionable blemishes. The obverse border is a bit soft in places, and other portions of both sides are devoid of denticulation. Otherwise we note pleasingly bold detail for the assigned grade that helps to make this a desirable circulated example of a popular Guide Bookvariety. The peculiar H in LIHERTY is actually not an H but rather a B punched in backwards and then corrected. Provenance: From the Abernathy Collection. Collector envelopes with attribution notes included. PCGS# 1413. NGC ID: 223X. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
