1799 1C S-189, B-3, R.2, VG10 PCGS. A small die imperfection leaves a raised lump between the E in ONE and the T in CENT on this example. That feature varies in size and is often called the 'mintmark' that signifies a genuine 1799 S-189 Normal Date cent. This piece is atypical of 1799 cents, displaying pleasing light brown and tan surfaces. Scattered marks are present, although the surfaces are much finer than normally encountered. This piece has a bold date and weak LIBERTY, with related peripheral weakness at the lower reverse. An important opportunity to acquire the elusive "Mickley cent." Our EAC grade VG8.
