Lot Description

1798 Draped Bust Cent. S-170. Rarity-3+. Noyes Die State B. Style II Hair. AU-55 BN (NGC). Deep golden-brown with lighter highlights. Evidently cleaned at some time in the past, but naturally retoned to an acceptable state for NGC's certification process. Essentially mark-free to the naked eye, with no truly troublesome marks that are readily apparent other than some streakiness to the reverse. Worthy of in-person examination.
