Lot 320
1798 Draped Bust Cent. . S-184. Del Bland graded VF-35. With a small planchet lamination on the reverse rim. Sharpness of nearly EF-45 but in the right obverse field and on Liberty are several small nicks and on the face is a fine scratch.
The lamination is over I in AMERICA, not too deep or distracting. This one is well balanced and preserved, with cascading curls on Liberty which show decidedly little wear. Truly a fine acquisition for the numismatist.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
