1802 Draped Bust Cent. S-232. Rarity-1. MS-63 BN (PCGS).This handsome cent is predominantly toned in rich antique copper and steel-brown. The reverse, however, retains glints of original pinkish-rose color in the center and around the periphery. Satiny in texture with considerable gloss, both sides also offer bold to sharp striking detail and a pleasingly smooth appearance. Faint carbon spots on the obverse before the word LIBERTY and on the reverse between the words OF and AMERICA are mentioned solely as identifying features. Likely a newcomer to the Condition Census for this die marriage of the 1802 cent, this coin is sure to appeal to astute bidders.Ex private East Coast collection. Collector envelope with attribution and provenance notes included.
