Lot 46
1799 Draped Bust Cent. 9 over 8. . S-188. Del Bland graded VG-8. Sharpness of VF-30 but across the central obverse are several very long and noticeable scratches and the surfaces exhibit light roughness, some of which has been faintly burnished off. Exceptionally sharp and well centered with the date and LIBERTY unusually strong. Somewhat glossy dark olive and not really unattractive despite the problems.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
