Lot Description

1800 Draped Bust Cent. S-212. Rarity-3. AU-50 (PCGS). OGH. This is a sharply defined coin overall, as befits the assigned grade, most of the central design elements are fully struck, although the borders are incompletely denticulated around both sides. Interestingly toned, the surfaces exhibit mottled steely olive-brown and copper-rose to a base of curious antique gold, the overall appearance suggestive of an ancient cleaning. The amount of remaining detail, of course, confirms this coin as a desirable type candidate for the Draped Bust cent at the AU grade level. Noyes Die State B/D. PCGS# 1449. NGC ID: 2248.
