Lot Description

1796 Liberty Cap Cent. S-81. Rarity-3. VF-20 (PCGS). A delightfully attractive and problem free example of this desirable Liberty Cap issue. The surfaces show the typical microgranularity under magnification but the complexion remains smooth and pleasing to the naked eye. Overall dark espresso-brown in color with a tinge of pinkish hues showing through on the high points. Well defined for the variety, with remarkably sharp definition to the obverse and just a hint of the usual softness at CENT. Handsomely preserved and superior to most examples. Ideal for both type collectors and specialists. PCGS# 1392. NGC ID: 223V. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
