详细说明: 1796 Draped Bust Cent. S-93. Rarity-3-. Noyes Die State C, Breen Die State X. Reverse of 1797 (a.k.a. Reverse of 1796). MS-65 RB (PCGS).... Die Variety: This is a readily identifiable obverse die for the 1796 Draped Bust cent due to the presence of a hyphen-like break between the digits 7 and 9 in the date and an area of roughness in the die in the field below the ribbon ends.

The reverse is far more dramatic regarding the advanced die state with the lower right peripheral area extensively cracked from the letter E in AMERICA to the left (facing) ribbon end. The most prominent crack joins the tops of the letters RICA, and there is a retained cud at the border outside the letters ER.
