Draped Bust Cent

Produced between 1796 and 1807, the Draped Bust Cent represents one of the inaugural designs in American coinage history. Its obverse presents a bust of Liberty adorned with draped garments, while the reverse depicts a small eagle. As a pivotal issue in early U.S. numismatics, this series remains highly sought-after by collectors, valued both for its relatively limited production numbers and its characteristic aesthetic.
