Losbeschreibung

1798 Draped Bust Cent. S-174. Rarity-2-. Style II Hair. EF-45 (PCGS). An appreciably glossy example with swirls of deeper charcoal-russet color to otherwise dominant orange-copper patina. The former are more prevalent on the reverse, for which side we also note a tiny flan flaw at 4 o'clock on the border. Generally smooth in hand, closer inspection with a loupe reveals only wispy contact marks that are well within the context of the assigned grade. A boldly defined example of this more readily obtainable die marriage of the 1798-dated large cent issue, ideal for both type and variety purposes. PCGS# 1434.
