November 2021 Baltimore U.S. Coins auction

详细说明: 1802 Draped Bust Cent. S-238. Rarity-4. EF-40 (PCGS). A seldom offered Sheldon number that rarely appears in our or any other firms' sales. This hard and satiny example is of further significance in that it retains a remarkable amount of detail for a variety that is rarely encountered above VF. The obverse is sharp throughout, in fact, while for the reverse we note only characteristic softness of strike over the lower half of the wreath. Copper-brown toning is a bit deeper on the obverse, the reverse with a splash of steel-olive within the right half of the wreath. A few minor edge bruises along the right obverse border are noted, as are some minor handling marks on that side, the reverse smoother overall yet with some ancient surface build up associated with the aforementioned steel-olive color. A visually engaging piece that is sure to see spirited bidding among advanced early copper variety enthusiasts. PCGS# 36323. NGC ID: 224E. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
