Lot 790
1796 S-87 R3 Liberty Cap VF30. Slightly sharper but both sides are covered with extremely faint hairlines, most likely a result of a too-vigorous brushing or very light cleaning. No roughness or verdigris. The notable marks are a fine hairline scratch from the eyebrow to the top of the cap and a small nick in the field left of the bottom of the cap. Glossy light brown with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints. LDS, Breen state IV, with subtle swelling at the 6 in the date and obvious die rust around the U in UNITED. A very attractive Liberty Cap cent in spite of the faint hairlines.
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
