详细说明: 1796 S-110 R3+ Draped Bust. PCGS graded MS-66 Brown. Plated in Early Ameri¬ can Cents , Penny Whimsy , and Noyes. Highly lustrous light steel brown faded down from mint color with underlying very faded red remaining in protected areas of both sides. Virtually flawless surfaces, free from any spots, stains, or planchet defects. The only mark, and it is barely visible, even with a good glass, is a tiny hairline scratch near the rim left of the lowest curls. MDS, Breen die state VII, with several die cracks on the obverse but without the cud break at TY. There is some strike doubling on the obverse (caused by die bounce), strongest on the tip of the nose, upper lip, chin, and ERTY. Fantastic eye appeal, graded MS65 choice and finest known of the variety in the Noyes census and the only mint state example of the variety, his photo #21620. Our grade is MS65. In fact, this cent is tied with two other pieces (of different die varieties) for finest known honors among all the known 1796 Draped Bust cents, regardless of the die variety.
