Description
CU-1C-1798-03 is a cud on a 1798 Draped Bust Cent. Robert Scot's Draped Bust design featured Liberty in flowing drapery on the obverse and a simple wreath on the reverse, rendered on large copper planchets that required substantial striking pressure from the Mint's hand-operated screw presses. Early federal coinage from the 1790s survives in limited numbers, and die varieties on these issues are studied with particular intensity because each die was individually hand-engraved, making every working die a unique artifact. Cataloged by Cuds on Coins.
