Description

1799 Large Cent Rarity

1799 1C --Corroded--ANACS. VF Details, Net Fine 12. S-189, R.2. Despite dark coloration and noticeably pitted surfaces, this is a suitable representation of the Perfect Date variety. The reverse displays full border definition, although we note that the obverse's poorly centered strike has effaced most of its denticles. The balances of the devices are, however, quite well detailed within the confines of this median circulated grade level. Examples of this elusive large cent delivery always elicit strong bids from dedicated copper collectors whenever they cross the auction block.
