1796 S-101 R5- Draped Bust F12+

Sharpness VF20 but covered with microscopic roughness under glossy dark olive brown toning. There are traces of shallow verdigris in a few protected areas. The only notable marks are a rim nick left of the L in LIBERTY and a small rim nick right of the D in UNITED. MDS, Breen state II, with die clashmarks on the obverse and a very fine crack through the top of MERIC. The date is strong and the legends are clear. Graded net VF20 and tied for CC#8 in the Bland census. Noyes says net VG10 and tied for CC#13, his photo #36343. Comes with a nice provenance.
