The Draped Bust Large Cents, minted from 1796 to 1807, are a notable series of coins in United States numismatics. The 1803 Draped Bust Large Cent features a design by Robert Scott, showcasing Lady Liberty draped in a flowing gown on the obverse, with a reverse displaying a wreath encircling the denomination. These coins were produced in a time of changing designs and are considered collectible due to their historical significance, artistic merit, and relatively low mintage compared to other coins of the era. The 1803 date is especially sought after by collectors, as it marks a specific year within the Draped Bust series.
