<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 370718, member: 8959&quot;]Thank you very much guys for your comments.&nbsp; I am very happy with this coin also. When i first noticed it in in Ebay, i was&nbsp; weary at first as it was being offered by somebody who apparently does not deal much with coins, rather with european militaria. But you never know when or where a nice coin may appear!&nbsp; just keep looking.</p><p>As has been pointed out before in this board, 1796 Draped Busts are actually scarcer than 1794&#039;s and than 1796 Liberty caps,&nbsp; at a ratio of roughly 1 to 5-7.&nbsp; But they do show up in Ebay, which is where i got my 3 specimens, and you can save money that way.&nbsp; I saw a 1796 S-94 variety sell in Ebay a few months ago for $1400, then show up a few days later in a major early cents dealers inventory for.....$5,500.....&nbsp; </p><p>For anyone of you looking for one of these (Mark?) both Heritage and I &amp; L Goldberg have auctions coming up where samples are being offered. I still would like to get a &quot;LIHERTY&quot; specimen, so i am also on the lookout. After that i will be done with 1796&#039;s DB&#039;s.&nbsp; &nbsp; My next project will be a 1793 Liberty Cap, or a 1799, or another nice 1794.... Darn, these early cents are addictive!</p><p>but very rewarding!</p><p>regards,</p><p>Eduard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
