- Lot 31 1796 S-84 R3 Liberty Cap. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown.Glossy medium brown and steel with very faded mint red showing in protected areas on both sides, particularly on the reverse. Frosty mint luster covers the fields and protected areas on both sides. The only notable mark is a puff of darker chocolate brown toning in the field close before the chin. MDS, Breen state II, with a die crack through the top of OF. There is some weakness in the strike inside the wreath that weakens parts of ONE CENT, as nearly always seen on this variety. Graded MS62 Choice and CC#4 in the Noyes census, his photo #28560. Bland says MS61 and tied for CC#3. Our grade is MS62. A beautiful 1796 Liberty Cap cent that comes with an unbroken provenance that has been traced back more then a century. The attribution and Doug Bird Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; none finer.(PCGS # 35759) Value $80,000 - UP Ex C. T. Whitman, S. H. & H. Chapman 8/10/1893:835-M.
