The Draped Bust design was one of the earliest and most elegant coin designs produced by the young United States Mint, appearing on various denominations from 1795 to 1807. The obverse featured Lady Liberty with flowing hair draped with a cloth over her shoulder, symbolizing classical virtue and the ideals of the new republic. Today, 1805 Draped Bust Large Cent Coins are available in certified condition from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The Draped Bust design was created by artist Gilbert Stuart, famous for his portraits of George Washington, with engraving work by Robert Scot, the first Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint. This design appeared on half dimes, dimes, quarters, half dollars, and silver dollars, creating a unified aesthetic across American coinage.
All 1805 Draped Bust Large Cent Coins available here are packaged in slabs and come with an About Uncirculated 53 certification. AU53 coins typically have medium or near-full luster with wear patterns on the higher relief points that range from extremely light to only trace in nature. The BN designation is exclusive to copper coins and refers to a specimen with less than 5% of its original red copper colorization remaining.
On the obverse of the 1805 Draped Bust Large Cent is a portrait of Lady Liberty in right-profile relief. Her figure has long, flowing hair and drapery around her neckline. Historic sources report that Gilbert Stuart’s original design was inspired by a Philadelphia socialite from the early 19th century, Ann Willing Bingham.
The reverse of 1805 Draped Bust Large Cent Coins features a simple design that was common, in some form, on many early American coins. The design simply shows the denomination at the center of the coin field, with a wreath encircling the denomination. The nation of issue is also engraved on this side, as well as the fractional denomination of the coin (1/100).
