- 1797 Draped Bust Cent. S-138. Rarity-1. Reverse of 1797, Stems. AU-55 (PCGS). Suitably bold in detail for a lightly circulated survivor of this die marriage, minor die swelling (as struck) near the upper-right reverse border is diagnostic of the S-138 variety. Evenly toned in either tannish-brown (obverse) or medium-brown (reverse) patina, both sides are nicely centered on the planchet and free of significant blemishes.
