October 2018 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

Description du lot: 1798 Draped Bust Cent. S-164. Rarity-4. Style I Hair. EF-40 (PCGS). CAC. A boldly defined, generally medium brown example with several faint toning spots scattered about, mostly on the obverse. Smooth in hand, accuracy alone compels us to mention a few minor edge bumps on both sides, the most prominent of which are on the reverse outside the letters TE in UNITED and A in STATES. Early die state, Breen State I, with light obverse clashmarks and a faint bulge in the field at the end of Liberty's bust. Noyes grades this piece EAC VF-25, net Fine-15 and ranks it as tied for CC#15 for the S-164 variety. Provenance: Ex Jim Seacord, August 1984; Superior's sale of the Jack H. Robinson Collection, January 1989, lot 329; Tom Reynolds; Ira & Larry Goldberg's Pre-Long Beach Auction of January 2016, lot 159. PCGS# 36056. NGC ID: 2244.
