1802 Draped Bust Cent. S-227. Rarity-3-. AU-58 BN (NGC).；Marbled medium and orange-brown patina blankets both sides of this satiny and overall smooth example. A tiny area of environmental damage in the lower left obverse field is noted for accuracy, as are a few shallow grazes at the upper left reverse border that involve the letters STA in STATES. Lightly struck along the lower obverse and upper reverse borders, yet sharp elsewhere with the entire design on both sides fully appreciable. Scarce near-Mint quality in a Draped Bust cent that will appeal particularly to high grade type collectors.；
