AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

United States. One cent. 1798. Draped Bust Cents. AE. 11.15 g. EF.

Sample of the first major federal copper series of the U.S.: the Large Cent “Draped Bust” of 1798, in its coveted “Second Hair Style” variant (second hairstyle). This redesign of Liberty—with more defined locks and the bow relocated—appears from 1798 and remains in later issues, making it a reference variant for collectors of types and styles within the Draped Bust Cents.

Coin minted in Philadelphia (the only operating mint for the cent at that date), in copper and weighing 11.15 g, within the standard of the Large Cents of the late 18th century. An essential type both in year-by-year sets and in style-by-hair styles series.
