Lot 295
1797 Draped Bust Cent. Reverse of 1797, stems. . S-120b. Del Bland graded VF-30. Sharpness of Extremely Fine 40, but light roughness can be seen on both sides and the obverse fields exhibit a few microscopic scratches left over after a very light burnishing failed to remove them. Dark olive.
Boldly struck and well preserved for this die pairing, with typical roughness from a damp environment. An appealing cent, and one which should attract considerable bidding.
Estimated Value $750 - 1,250.
Ex. Ira S. Reed, privately 12/15/44 at $35.
