- 1801 Draped Bust Cent. S-219. Rarity-2. 3 Errors Reverse. VF-20 BN (NGC). This attractive golden-brown example is boldly defined for the grade with good centering to the strike. Sharper detail remains in the recesses of the major design elements, and all features are fully appreciable. A few tiny spots and minor edge bruises on the obverse are mentioned solely for accuracy. This is the most dramatic of the blundered reverse dies that Mint employees prepared for cent coinage in 1801. It is known in two pairings, with Sheldon-219 encountered far more frequently than S-218 in numismatic circles. Yet while S-219 is not a major rarity in an absolute sense, it is a remarkable condition rarity with only a single Mint State coin (per EAC standards) in both the Bland and 2015 Noyes census listings. Additional Condition Census coins are mostly AU or EF. The dramatic nature of the engraving blunders and its listing in the Guide Bookhas resulted in strong demand for S-219 large cents in all grades. Market reaction is particularly positive for examples with pleasing color and overall bold detail, as seen on the specimen offered here. PCGS# 36272. NGC ID: 224C.
