Lot 256
1798 S-155 R3 Style I Hair, Reverse of 1795 VF25. Glossy light to medium olive and chocolate brown with faint hints of sea-green and bluish steel overtones in protected areas. Smooth and attractive with only minor contact marks. The notable ones are a very light rim bruise off the lower end of the hair ribbon, a few light nicks over the upper and of that ribbon, and a nearly vertical nick over the left top of the N in CENT. None of these marks is significant and the eye appeal is excellent. LDS, Breen state VI, with die cracks and minor swelling on the obverse. A very nice example of the tough "Reverse of 1795" type of 1798. The attribution and Heard provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS #36002. Estimate Value $2,000 - UP
