1805 1C AU55 OGH PCGS CAC

This exquisite 1805 Draped Bust Large Cent, graded AU55 by PCGS in an Old Green Holder and approved by CAC, represents a thoroughly pleasing and technically strong example that will appeal equally to collectors of high-grade type coins and early copper specialists. Few surviving Draped Bust cents combine such solid technical quality, originality, and visual harmony, placing this coin among the most desirable pieces of its grade and certification class. The most recent CAC-approved example realized $5,280 01/25 HA underscoring continued collector demand for premium-quality early copper which was not an OGH nor as nice. The PCGS Price Guide values the issue at $5,500 and CAC’s population records list just six approved at AU55 with fourteen finer. The coin exhibits a beautifully preserved blend of original copper tones and natural surface texture characteristic of high-end early nineteenth-century copper. The open fields exhibit a smooth, velvety surface that reflects the coin’s careful preservation. A delicate gloss from subtle cabinet friction adds charm and confirms its originality.
