详细说明

1796 Draped Bust Cent. S-103. Rarity-4. LIHERTY Error. VG-10 (PCGS). Richly toned in deep steel-brown with lighter medium brown to the design elements on the obverse, appreciable gloss further enhances the visual appeal of this exceptionally smooth and inviting VG example. Apart from a trivial scratch through the digit 6 in the date -- easily overlooked -- the surfaces are free of mentionable blemishes. Struck slightly off center to 6 o'clock, the lower obverse border is a bit soft, and other portions of both sides are devoid of denticulation. Otherwise we note pleasingly bold detail for the assigned grade that helps to make this a desirable circulated example of a popular Guide Bookvariety. The peculiar H in LIHERTY is actually not an H but rather a B punched in backwards and then corrected. This lot includes a custom card with images, provenance information and a description for the coin. The card is available to the winning bidder upon request to Stack's Bowers Galleries at the close of the auction. Provenance: From the William L. Buxton Collection. Earlier ex John M.
