A well circulated early cent, with plenty of circulation marks. None too serious, however. Possibly lightly cleaned, although I am not sure about that. Most importantly, no porosity, verdigris or corrosion. How would our copper experts grade this?    |

No expert here, but will practice anyway  Looks at least AG03, possibly G04. Maybe light cleaning, nice coin. |

A very nice S-103 R4+ LIHERTY Reverse of 94! I am at EAC 6 net 4. I net it down due to the excessive chatter in the fields vs smooth. This is a nice coin though, with wonderful details on the obverse approaching Fine. I might just call this Good 6 and not net it down now that I think about it.

Lot's of chatter and I don't know enough about this series to know how that's factored. My educated guess is G4 to G6. Good looking coin overall though!

I totally forgot about you GERMANICVS! Another example of a great coin. The LIHERTY error shows great unfortunately the date is fairly worn. The chatter doesn't bother me a bit. The coin has good color and honest wear. EAC 3 because the date is nearly worn away.
1796 S-103 R.4 3/3.

 with EAC - AG3 just wish more of the date was showing on this coin. Color is nice and pleasing despite the chatter marks. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

The uneven wear, distracting about the date as it may be, doesn't deter me from rating this copper a G-4. Granted that if one looks solely at the date and parts of the reverse, AG-3 seems apropos. On the other hand, there are greater areas of the coin, like LIHERTY, the bust, the wreath and the fraction that approximate a G-6. IMHO, it's an overall G-4 with an average surface. It's a most respectable example of this desirable variety.

I looked at a few other S-103's and the date is almost always weak, so I chaulked that up to strike/die as opposed to wear.
