- 1802 Draped Bust Cent. S-241. Rarity-1. Stemless Wreath. AU-58 BN (NGC). This is a handsome Choice AU piece toned in a blend of olive and chocolate brown tones, with warm golden-bronze luster apparent around the devices. Liberty's portrait remains sharply defined on the obverse, sporting considerable hair detail and intricate profile features. The surfaces are overall smooth and free from distracting blemishes, harboring just a small mark on Liberty's neck to aid in provenance tracing. Evidence of die clashing is now dramatic, with impressions from the wreath beneath Liberty's chin and the letters MERICA clearly stamped at the right border. An attractive and important piece for early copper specialists, hailing from the impressive cabinet of Adam Mervis. Provenance: From the Collection of Thaddeus A. Tatum III. Earlier ex Heritage's sale of the Adam Mervis Collection, January 2014, lot 2786. PCGS# 36347. NGC ID: 224F. Click here for certification details from NGC.
