<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 26087966, member: 66&quot;]Even though the 1796 draped bust cent has a mintage three times that of the 96 caps, I have always found the Liberty caps to be much easier to find, although you could be right about them being tougher in high grade.&nbsp; As varieties the caps are also more common, 11 varieties as compared to 35 for the draped busts, and most of the draped bust coins are of higher rarity.&nbsp; 22 of them are R-5 or better.&nbsp; (R-5 31 to 75 pieces known)&nbsp; Only 7 bust varieties are R-3 while 5 of the caps are (No 1796 cent is less than an R-3).&nbsp; And this is a big change from back when I stated collecting them.&nbsp; Back then the cap rarities were about the same as they are now, while only 1 draped bust was an R-3, the S-110.&nbsp; I now have all of the Sheldon numbered varieties, and 3 of the 7 NC varieties.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
