1800 Draped Bust Cent. S-200. Rarity-3. VF-25 (PCGS). Uncommonly smooth for the assigned grade, this handsome piece also sports a hard satin texture with appreciable gloss to both sides. Attractively toned in a blend of steel and rose-brown, as well, plenty of sharp detail and an impressive provenance further enhance this coins appeal. A tiny rim ding on the reverse at 8 oclock serves as a useful identifier. Breen Die State VIII. From the William L. Buxton Collection.
