1799/8 Draped Bust Cent. S-188. Rarity-4. Breen Die State IV. Good-6 (PCGS). Deep chocolate with some lighter golden color visible on both sides. Uniform microgranularity is also present. Possibly cleaned at some long-ago time, now retoned. A classic key date rarity in the large cent series, both as an overdate, as here, and also the "normal" date variety. All the design elements are present if somewhat weak in places, and despite its shortcomings, the present piece is still desirable and should do well when it enters the auction arena.
