Here’s a worn but nice 1798 Draped Bust Large Cent that I recently added to my collection. Only 1,841,745 were minted. As far as I can tell it’s a normal coin, meaning not one of the known varieties. I believe this to be a strong borderline AG-3/G-4 grade. My Red Book has this as a $200 coin in AG-3 and double that amount in G-4. I think it’s closer to a G-4 but I’ll admit that grading this series is not a good point of mine. It’s worn but has a clear date and there is some detail left on the coin. It’s easily identifiable. You be the judge of the grade. After all, the coin is 227 years old. It’s clean of marks.
