- Lovely Choice Mint State 1806 Draped Bust Cent The Gardner Specimen 1806 Draped Bust Cent. S-270, the only known dies. Rarity-1. MS-63 BN (NGC). CAC. A beautiful glossy example with the lightest faded rose color remaining to otherwise medium brown surfaces. Both sides are hard, tight and overall smooth. Well struck despite the advanced die state, Liberty's portrait is particularly noteworthy for the sharpness of detail that is displays. A few extremely faint carbon spots are scattered about on the obverse, although the only significant blemishes are several pin scratches at the letters TY in LIBERTY on the same side. Breen Die State IV. This is one of the top 12 to 15 examples of this popular single die marriage issue. While Sheldon-270 is plentiful in an absolute sense, the lack of other die pairings means that 1806 is one of the scarcer dates in the Draped Bust large cent series. A superior example in all regards that will please advanced type collectors as well as early copper enthusiasts. Provenance: From the Collection of Thaddeus A. Tatum III.
