- 1796 Draped Bust Cent. NC-2. Rarity-7. Reverse of 1795. AG-3 (PCGS). Warmly toned in a blend of olive-copper and autumn-brown, the surfaces are quite rough overall with light granularity and numerous small and moderate size marks. A few shallow pits at the upper right obverse border are also noted. All devices are at least partially discernible, Liberty's portrait well outlined and the date legible, if somewhat weak. The letters TAT in STATES are joined at their bases, there is a single leaf below the letter T in CENT, and the three-leaf cluster below the final A in AMERICA nearly touches that letter. These features confirm the NC-2 attribution. A newcomer to the census for this elusive variety listed in Walter Breen's large cent encyclopedia (2000), and a find for the specialist despite its lower state of preservation. Provenance: From the John Whitney Walter Collection. Collector tag included. PCGS# 1401. NGC ID: 223W. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
