The 1 cent coins during this period typically feature a portrait of Liberty, draped in a classical style, on the obverse, while the reverse displays a wreath encircling the denomination. Collectors highly value these coins due to their historical significance, rarity, and artistry, making them sought-after items in numismatics. The 1797 Draped Bust Large Cent, in particular, is considered a key date in the series and is often found in various grades that can affect its market value significantly.
