1804 Draped Bust Cent. S-266, B-1, the only known dies. Rarity-2. VG Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS).
Pleasing chocolate brown surfaces show roughness associated with the cited environmental damage. While not perfect, this is a key date in the Draped Bust series, and always in demand from collectors of early American copper coins. A distinctive die state with a cud above RTY on the obverse and MERIC on the reverse. The details are quite bold and the eye appeal is very pleasing despite the surface issues.
PCGS# 36422. BASE PCGS# 1504. NGC ID: 224H.
