Lot Description

1803 Draped Bust Cent. S-247. Rarity-3. Small Date, Small Fraction. EF-40 BN (NGC). Warm rose-tan surfaces exhibit a soft underglow. The devices are bold for the grade and the surfaces are devoid of serious marks to the unassisted eye. Some scattered ticks are apparent under low magnification, but they are a minor distraction at best and not of recent vintage. Choice for the grade with excellent all-around eye appeal.
