Lot Description

1796 Draped Bust Cent. S-104. Rarity-3+. Noyes Die State A. LIHERTY Error. VF-20 BN (NGC). This is the famous LIHERTY variety, caused when the B was accidentally rotated 180 degrees and then repunched facing the correct way. Attractive steel-brown surfaces with lighter pink accents on the high points of the design. The surfaces are a little porous, but there are no detracting marks. A pleasing example of this popular Guide Bookvariety. PCGS# 1413.
