Lot Description

1802 Draped Bust Cent. S-232. Rarity-1. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Satiny and tight, this lovely example exhibits plenty of gloss to premium near-Mint surfaces. Pleasantly toned in medium golden-brown, direct lighting calls forth faint traces of faded autumn-orange color that are more prevalent on the reverse. Well centered in strike with most design elements sharply to fully defined. Given the EAC Condition Census for this variety comprised largely of Mint State and Choice AU coins listed in the 2015 edition of William C. Noyes large cent reference, this minimally circulated survivor is worthy of serious consideration among advanced early copper enthusiasts. Noyes Die State B/A. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. Earlier ex our (Stack's) session of Auction '87, July-August 1987, lot 516. PCGS# 36305. NGC ID: 224E. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
