Large Cents
1799 1C S-189, B-3, R.2, Fine 12 PCGS. Unlike most 1799 cents, the date and LIBERTY are both bold, with the bottoms of the date and the top of LIBERTY merged slightly into the border. The attractive olive-brown surfaces exhibit scattered handling marks on both sides that are expected for the grade. There is no corrosion or other impairments visible on either side. The 1799 cent has long been identified as the key issue in the Draped Bust series, and one of the three important dates in the series from 1793 to 1857. Rarely are problem-free examples of this issue available. The present offering is a highly important opportunity for series specialists.
