1797 Draped Bust Cent. S-137. Rarity-2. Reverse of 1797, Stems to Wreath. VF-25 (PCGS). Bold olive-copper patina to both sides, the surfaces appear hard and tight in hand. Close inspection with a loupe reveals microscopic roughness in isolated areas and equally minor handling marks, all of which features are easily forgiven at the assigned grade level. Well centered in strike with ample detail remaining, this is a pleasing VF example of both the type and die pairing.
