Lot Description

1798 Draped Bust Cent. S-161. Rarity-2-. Noyes Die State B. Style I Hair. EF-45 (PCGS). Golden-brown with lighter golden-tan highlights in places. Pleasing to the naked eye, and able to withstand magnified scrutiny; just a few light ticks are the viewer's reward. Strong design elements remain. Reverse die aligned with E in STATES at 11 instead of 12 o'clock. An amply pleasing specimen that should experience substantial bidding activity.
