i agree with AU50 details and the possibility of a re-color, however, it has great details.

Some nice looking old copper. Agree with AU-50 - a few issues yes but good luck finding anything nicer than this example

Always nice to see an 1796 Draped Bust Cent in higher grade.
Admittedly not without its flaws, but appealing nonetheless.
1796 DBC's are generally scarce, and S-110 (at R-3 per CQR) is as close as you will get to a 'common' coin when it comes to 1796's.

Ahaa !So I see some comments needed clarifcation sas my picture was taken in the sun --hey picture looked a bit too over done and in fun couse it looked cool kinda. Ok so I re-took the pictures --this is more realistic the way it looks in person. Porrus it is and on the reverse more so --But for the price under 5 go find another as nice with the Au details. I wanted a great example of a 96 rev 94 I think I got a wonderful coin for the price. Love all the comment from you all----enjoy   |

I think she is a lovely coin for under $5k. Unfortunately, I'm not sure my wallet will ever let me afford such a piece.

Five thousand dollars or something close to it is a high price for that coin. NGC and PCGS would not give it a straight grade, and that eliminates a lot of the market.

Bill-- like others said go find another--. A AU solid coin is a $13,000. Coin I was debating from the rev - but but the pouros issue was even and it was the obverse that I found most appealing. Coins like these Detail graders are tricky to grade - its the appeal to the buyer that makes the sale as I felt finding what is appealing to me is what makes sense to me. Under $5,000 for this coin is fair as finding another details grader will have its own issues. I wanted a Clear problem free obverse field with as much nice non pouros of the the portrait itself. And so this was a great candidate and when looking at this coin in different angles it looks great in all of em for a 1796 rev 94

I think Bill has much more experience in this area than (probably) the rest of us combined, so I'm inclined to think he is correct. Having said that, I'm a very fussy buyer, but I could easily live with this one!

  I netted something like $6,000 out of this 1797, S-139 cent from an Early American Coppers Club auction. It was featured on the front of the sale catalog. This piece was in the low end of the condition census for the variety when I sold it, and it had a pedigree from past auctions and collections. When I owned it, PCGS refused to grade it because of the red corrosion on both sides. After someone else got it PCGS graded it. Go figure. I present this to compare with the 1796 that started this thread. I think that my 1797 has fewer problems, but that might just my opinion. Edited by billjones

Coinfrog--- This coin came from a big dealer in coppers hint (Chris). The thing I like when buying from them is they got clear nice pictures on ebay and I can take my time reviewing the coin as I wish; hence the clear pictures are helpful in making a trusted decision that's exciting till I get the coin in hand without a question. Coppers like these in higher grade will come with its kinks as this does. Iv yet to find a 1796 draped bust that's AU sharpness with another issue that is more distracting like cuts scratches or a weird damage mark on the face or other prime area of the coin. This coin has got non of the above- but yes is porous evenly on rev with micro bity pits at 10:00. My interest was a 1796 94 reverse. They did have another 1796 rev 95 in AU dets for $2750 --- BUT and that is a big butt the coin had a deep gauge on the face on the cheek mouth area. And of course I was not wanting that one. I could yap on en on and yes I realize this particular coin I'm not expecting to ever fetch more than $4500k but I'm happy to have gotten this one to enjoy for many years to come. |

That's a nice coin Bill and correctly so the red patches are Not terribly distracting ( I would prefer one without em or spot of verdigris or spots. The coin is very nice though and its a 97 yes. I was trending for a 96 rev 94 specifically and finding one with as much detail as what I got is very uncommon you can agree to that. The obverse of mine is so remarkably preserved that I just felt wow ok here is a rare opitunity that I saw with trusted sellers that will fit perfectly as a example of a 1796 rev94. --
every one feel free to put your EF or higher draped bust on this thread I would love to see it ! Thanks Bill and every one elts for there inputs - love reading em
