Description

1799 1C --Genuine--PCGS. S-189, B-3, R.2. Incorrectly designated as an 1799/8, which implies S-188. We suggest a net grade of Fair 2 for this key date cent, which is evenly granular from environmental exposure and has areas of unnatural red color on the obverse from cleaning. LIBERTY is faint but most of the date and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA can be discerned beneath a strong light. EAC 1.(Registry values: N991)

Metal: 100% Copper
