    I was wondering whether this 1796 draped bust large cent is an S-107 variety. It is heavily corroded on the obverse and reverse. Taking that into account about what is it worth?

    I am having some difficulty properly attributing this coin: Breen says S-106, 107 and 108 share same reverse, and the obverse is distinguished by the spacing of the letters BERT in LIBERTY. This is made difficult due to the poor condition of the coin, specially the obverse. S-107 is the rarer of the 3, rated as R5+.

    Price wise it may not make much difference, though. In this condition . In scudzy AG3 (probably correct judging from the pictures), CQR (Copper Quotes by Robinson) quotes a price of $150 for S-106 and 107, less if it is S-108. In G4, the price is $400 for S-107 and S-106, $120 for S-108. It will probably be between the two

    I'm leaning towards the S-106 due to the spacing of the gap between I and B along with the gap between the top of the 6 and the bust.
