1796 S-114 R5- Draped Bust VG7
Date: 1796Sharpness F12 or slightly better but covered with fine roughness, strongest in the fields and protected areas. There are a few shallow pits off the ends of the hair ribbon, another at the top of the M, and a planchet flake at the top of the O in ONE. No verdigris and minor contact marks. Light olive and steel brown. Rare terminal die state, Breen IV, with strong rim cuds at TY and left of the L in LIBERTY. The date and legends are complete and easily readable. Far from perfect but better than the Breen plate coin for the die state. Noyes graded VG8 net G5, his photo #28215.Ex James R. McGuigan 4/1979-John D.
