***Auction Highlight*** 1796 Liberty Cap S-81 Flowing Hair large cent 1c Graded vf details By USCG. Dr. Sheldon enumerated this variety first in his numbering scheme, suggesting it was the first 1796 Liberty Cap die pairing. Walter Breen gave the first variety honors to Sheldon-91, based on the reasoning of Denis Loring. The reverse die reappears in the 1798 series on S-178, the Second Hair Style with the Reverse of 1796. This early die state exhibits no obverse die bulge with no evidence of the late-state die crack. While the surfaces do show significant impairment, all of the devices are still strongly present and do display full VF if not XF details. When examining this example under magnification one can see terrific detail in miss liberty’s hair and cap. The date is strong and sharp and every device on the reverse is strong and complete. A very high end VF details coin. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away Coin
