Condition Census 1796 S-103 Draped Bust Cent Popular LIHERTY Variety 1796 Draped Bust Cent. S-103. Rarity-4+. LIHERTY. AU-53 BN (NGC). Handsome golden-brown surfaces are warmly and evenly toned over devices that retain plenty of bold to sharp striking detail. Virtually devoid of denticulation on the obverse, although well centered on that side nonetheless, the reverse is fully denticulated and near-perfectly centered. Smooth in hand and otherwise free of significant identifiers, a faint reverse planchet flaw bisects the first letter T in STATES. A thin coating of carnauba wax may be present, which is known to have been applied to many of the cents once owned by Dr. Sheldon. Breen Die State I-II, intermediate die state with faint cracks at AMERICA and OF, but not at the letters NITED in UNITED. Graded EAC EF-45 and ranked CC#4 by Del Bland, Noyes says EAC VF-35 and tied for CC#5. The Breen large cent encyclopedia uses the Bland census. The reverse of this coin is plated in Early American Cents. Provenance: From the Collection of Thaddeus A. Tatum III. Earlier ex David Proskey; Henry C. Hines; Dr. William H. Sheldon; T.
