- 1798 Draped Bust Cent. S-155. Rarity-3. Reverse of 1795. AU-55 (PCGS). An uncommonly well preserved example of this scarcer and more conditionally challenging 1798 large cent variety. Both sides are sharply to fully defined throughout, the only mentionable softness in the center of the obverse, and it is minor. The reverse is ideally centered within a uniformly denticulated border, while the obverse is off center trivially to 6 o'clock with an exceptionally broad border along the upper edge. Marbled autumn-brown and copper-gray patina throughout, a faint spot in the lower right obverse field the only useful identifying feature. Based on EAC grades, the Condition Census for the 1798 S-155 variety in Walter Breen's large cent Encyclopedia (2000) ranges in grade from MS-63 to VF-35. With its sharp detail and pleasing appearance the coin offered here is sure to catch the eye of early copper variety enthusiasts. Noyes Die State B. PCGS# 36002. NGC ID: 2244.
