Description

1797 Draped Bust Cent. S-139. Rarity-1. Reverse of 1797, Stems to Wreath. EF-45 (PCGS).
A high grade early copper large cent that boasts attractive steel-brown toning and is boldly struck. On the obverse there are several minor ticks on Liberty's neck and breast. The reverse is similar in color, a touch weakly struck on the left, and generally free of annoying contact marks. A rather common die pairing, but difficult to find this nice.
PCGS# 1422. NGC ID: 2242.

Estimate: $3000
