1797 Draped Bust Cent. S-120B. Rarity-2. Reverse of 1795, Gripped Edge. VF-20 (PCGS).Glossy copper brown surfaces are free of significant marks, the obverse particularly smooth in hand. Splashes of crimson and olive-russet on the reverse are associated with a touch of surface scale, easily forgiven at the assigned grade level, especially given this coins strong visual appeal. The obverse is well centered in strike, the reverse drawn trivially 4 oclock with the denticulation thin, yet still complete along the right border. Libertys portrait is a bit soft due to die swell, but all major design elements remain boldly outlined and clear for the assigned grade. Noyes Die State E/C.From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection.
