<B>1796 25C VF20 PCGS.</B></I> B-2, R.3. The 1796 is a widely recognized one-year issue, and as a result it is highly sought after by collectors in all grades. Survivors tend to be grouped in the AG-Good grade range, and at the opposite end of the grading spectrum there are a surprising number of AU and Uncirculated coins known because of a hoard dispersed in the in early 1940s by Abe Kosoff. Coins in the middle grades are infrequently encountered. Such pieces are of great importance and each coin is closely watched when it enters the marketplace because, obviously, more collectors are assembling type sets in VF-XF condition than AG-Good and AU-Mint State. This is an especially attractive coin for the early type collector. The central devices still retain much of the details on Liberty's lower hair curls and the eagle's wings, but the head of the eagle is softly defined, as always. The surfaces overall are toned in deep blue and charcoal gray shadings with brilliantish-tan accents over the highpoints of the devices. The only marks of any consequence are a couple of old scratches in the field to the left of the first S in STATES on the reverse.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
