Lot Description

1800/1798 Draped Bust Cent. S-191. Rarity-2. Style I Hair. VF-35 (PCGS). This moderately, yet evenly worn example retains considerable boldness of strike to the obverse. The reverse is characteristically softer in detail for the variety from having been struck from an "injured" die. Evenly toned in an orange-copper shade, with scattered small and a few moderate-size abrasions that are not out-of-context with the assigned grade.
