- 1803 Draped Bust Cent. S-247. Rarity-3. Small Date, Small Fraction. AU-58 (NGC). OH. Lovely satin surfaces are overall smooth with a generally hard, tight appearance. Both sides are well struck, the impression nicely centered and the devices retaining bold to sharp detail in the absence of all but light wear. An area of trivial porosity in the reverse field between the letters E in ONE and T in CENT is noted for accuracy, as are a tiny swirl of crimson encrustation within the left ribbon bow and several wispy pin scratches over and behind Liberty's portrait. Otherwise free of mentionable blemishes, this is an inviting olive-brown example that is sure to catch the eye of early copper enthusiasts. The census of top examples for this variety as provided in the 2015 edition of the Noyes large cent reference ranges in grade from AU-55 to VF-30; the coin offered here is not included in that list and seems to have eluded the author. Noyes Die State E/C. Provenance: From our May 2019 Baltimore Auction, lot 3299. PCGS# 1482. NGC ID: 224G. Click here for certification details from NGC.
