1804 DRAPED BUST 1C PCGS MS55 Brown

This 1804 Draped Bust cent, graded PCGS MS55BN, stands out for well-defined striking detail and rich brown color. Early copper specialists value these issues for die attribution, color, and surface quality as much as numerical grade. Attribution specialists will note S-266C, Rarity-2. The population data and survival commentary both matter: only three coins have been graded higher by PCGS. The About Uncirculated grade allows the design to retain strong detail while showing only limited evidence of circulation. Assembling comparable quality within this series is challenging, which gives this piece meaningful collector relevance.
