1805 Draped Bust Cent. S-269. Rarity-1. AU-53 BN (NGC).;This beautiful AU example is bathed in an autumnal blend of caramel, hazelnut and olive hues. The luster remains considerably satiny throughout, yielding just briefly across the vulnerable regions. The definition exhibited by Libertys portrait is tremendous, with intricate hair detail and dramatic evidence of refinishing across the lower bust. A largely unscathed and thoroughly handsome piece.;From the Dr. Gordon Shaw Collection.
