Description

1799 Cent, S-189, Fine 12
Key Draped Bust Date

1799 1C S-189, B-3, R.2, Fine 12 PCGS. An evenly detailed representative with sharp legends and considerable definition on Liberty's curls. Only infrequent small marks are present. The lightly granular surfaces display hints of rose-red uncharacteristic of the Fine grade. The central reverse exhibits subtle olive-green toning. Traces of powdery residue are noted in the crevices of LIBERTY and AMERICA. The 1799 is the key date of the Draped Bust series, seen less often (especially in better circulated grades) than the 1804. The dull mint-made die lump beneath the E in ONE is a diagnostic for S-189. Encapsulated in an old green label holder. Our EAC grade VG7.
