Description du lot

1797 Draped Bust Cent. S-139. Rarity-1. Reverse of 1797, Stems to Wreath. VF-30 (PCGS). Handsome tobacco-brown surfaces are warmly and evenly toned. Uniformly denticulated borders around both sides point to an ideally centered strike, which also imparted sharp detail to the design that remains to a considerable degree for an early date large cent that saw moderate commercial use. Microscopically rough, yet pleasingly smooth in hand, this is a very respectable mid grade example of the variety. Provenance: Ex Tom Reynolds; Early Copper Coins, September 2011. PCGS# 1422.
