1C 1796 LIB CAP PCGS AU55+ BLUE LAKE

$32,000.00

No question this is a GEM AU Lib Cap! It is so close to AU58 its hard to see why PCGS did not designate it that. Remarkable surfaces are super clean. Only with a strong glass can you detect a few tiny told ticks. The planchet clearly was good and we see no porosity anywhere. Both sides are a GEM brown/pale brown/very faint mint red/pale olive color mix. Nothing but pure originality oozes from all over. There are NO spot or patches of discoloration. Miss Liberty and the details are exceptionally struck. The eye appeal is wonderful! PCGS 6, NGC 7, CAC 4. This is the only AU55+ graded anywhere. PCGS has graded 8 in AU58 (but only 2 are beaned). No AU55+ has ever been sold via auction. This coin has been off the market for over 17 years now. It will be a great addition to ANY Large Cent Collection!
