Description

1798 Liberty Silver One Cent Coin, discovered 3/90 Worthy Coin Corp. Draped Bust type of One Cent coins –
The obverse of this type features a “rather buxom” bust of Miss Liberty facing right. Some accounts identify the model as Philadelphia socialite Ann Willing Bingham, daughter of the first president of the First Bank of the United States. The reverse remained the same as before, with minor modifications through the eyars. One Cent coins of the Draped Bust type were only issued until 1807, after which they were replaced with the “Classic Head” design.
