Lot 1914
1797 Draped Bust Cent. ANACS graded Good-4 Double Struck. The first strike was approximately thirty percent off center towards the upper left of the obverse, the second and primary strike was centered properly. The outline of Liberty's profile can be seen above where her ear should be, and the date is plainly visible from the second strike. Similar on the reverse, with a few design elements clearly and dramatically doubled. The surfaces are finely granular and there are some light scratches up from the ribbons behind Liberty's head. These early mint errors are always in high demand, even in comparatively moderate grades.
Estimated Value $500 - 600.
