Lot Description

1803 Draped Bust Cent. S-243. Rarity-2+. Stemless Wreath. EF-45 (PCGS). This is a boldly to sharply defined example with considerable appeal for both type and variety purposes. Medium and deep brown patina is well blended over surfaces that, while a bit rough overall due to light pitting and wispy handling marks, are free of singularly mentionable blemishes. Well centered in strike with complete, if trivially uneven denticulation around both sides. Noyes Die State A. PCGS# 1482. NGC ID: 224G. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
