1800 Draped Bust Large Cent (1c) S-205

Warm chocolate-brown surfaces with lighter cinnamon highlights give this early copper pleasing, even eye appeal. Detail is right where you want it for a wholesome mid-VF - bold date and legends, strong central hair and wreath definition, and sound rims. The planchet is attractive for the issue, with smooth, original skin and just a few trivial ticks. Nicely matched color on both sides, no gloss or unnatural brightness. Housed in an NGC holder with S-205 attribution and the Jules Reiver Collection pedigree noted on the label.
