1797 Draped Bust Cent. S-138. Rarity-1. Noyes Die State A. Reverse of 1797, With Stems. AU-58 BN (NGC).
Bold, more or less broad denticulation encircles both sides of this impressive early copper. The devices are no less sharp, and with smooth, glossy, deep brown surfaces, this virtually Mint State example is seemingly earmarked for inclusion in a high grade type set. Although this die marriage is known in high grades, not many are truly this nice and well preserved of this die marriage. Certainly an impressive early cent that will provide many hours of enjoyable study for its outstanding quality and nearly mint surfaces. An exciting example to pursue by any specialist looking for this type or variety.
