1804 Draped Bust Cent. S-266, the only known dies. Rarity-2. AG-3 (PCGS). Handsome medium brown patina overall, the surfaces exhibit numerous small and moderate-size marks that are not out of place on an early date large cent that saw this extensive circulation. The reverse periphery is worn smooth from 8 to 1 oclock, although the major design elements in other areas are at least partially discernible, including a legible, if somewhat soft date. The perennially popular key date 1804 cent enjoys strong collector demand at all levels of preservation. Noyes Die State C/D.
