Owner's Comments

1796 S110 Draped Bust Large Cent, Reverse of 1794, R3. Authenticated and graded by PCGS as F15, #1404.15/28272794. Recorded in the Noyes Numistudy condition census as #39805, F12 net VG10 Average, CC24. I think Noyes is nuts and PCGS has it right: my SAY grade is F15 net F12 Average Plus. Very nice, original medium brown color with details that most would call VF20. The only defect are some tiny, tiny black spots at lower left obverse, plus a tiny reverse rim bump at S-O. Very nice for a middle-grade 1796 draped bust large cent. Ex-Doug Bird 07/96 as VF; Superior 02/08/98:890; EAC 2001 03/31/01:196; Scott Barrett.

Quickfinder Notes: On both the Reverse of 1794 and the Reverse of 1797, the right branch of the wreath terminates in a Double Leaf. The best way to distinguish between the two is to look at the Ribbon Bow. The Reverse of 1794 has the Ribbon Loops starting on a short EXTENSION ABOVE the ribbon Knot. Hence, it has been termed the "High Bow". On the Reverse of 1797, the loops of the ribbon start AT the Ribbon Knot. The graded/no graded populations both of these revese types are almost dead even. Both, however, are much scarcer than the Reverse of 1795, with it's Single Terminal Leaves.
