1802 Draped Bust Cent. S-237. Rarity-2. AU-53 (PCGS).Smooth in hand with a hard, tight, satiny texture, this endearing example is further enhanced by blended medium and golden-brown patina. The strike is a bit tight to the left obverse border, but both sides are fully denticulated, and detail is sharp in all areas save for over the lower right portion of the wreath. Close inspection with a loupe reveals faint pin scratches in the left and right obverse field that are easily overlooked and just as easily forgiven. All in all, a pleasing high grade circulated example of the type and variety that is sure to catch the eye of discerning bidders. Breen Die State II.
