Lot 1494
1798 Draped Bust Cent. Style 1 hair. NGC graded MS-62 Brown. Nice brown example with glossy golden red accents plus a little steel blue verdigris around LIB of LIBERTY. Some normal slight handling marks on the main device and in the fields. The apparent line in the right obverse field is actually a die break connecting T and Y of LIBERTY then extending in a shallow arc well into the field, where it disappears about on a level with Liberty's nose. Scarce in this grade; large cents struck in 1798 are from two main head punches, with this Style 2 revealing an extra curl above the 1 of the date (PCGS # 1431) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,300.
