- 1804 Draped Bust Cent. S-266, the only known dies. Rarity-2. VF-20 BN (NGC). This is a dark espresso brown example with overall glossy surfaces. Well struck and bold, with strong definition to Liberty's portrait and the reverse wreath. A few marks are visible on the obverse under scrutiny, notably a blemish below Liberty's chin, but these are well worn into the overall patina. Nicely defined for the grade and offering pleasing eye appeal. The only known die marriage of the 1804 Draped Bust cent and the date is well known as the second key in the series behind only the 1799. It has a blunt 1 in the date and exhibits triple punching at the crosslet of the 4. On the reverse, the fraction 1/100 is large, the bar is long and slender, the denominator is skewed left, and there is a long spine from the end of the leaf before the letter C in CENT that points toward the letter O in ONE. Provenance: From the Collection of Thaddeus A. Tatum III. PCGS# 36422. NGC ID: 224H. Click here for certification details from NGC.
