Lot 307
1798 S-167 R1 Style II Hair with Large 8. Fine-15. Five points sharper but there are some very fine pinscratches across the date plus another down the neck and one more in the field left of the lower curls. The marks are barely visible and the eye appeal is enhanced by the smooth surfaces. Glossy medium brown and chocolate with traces of very faded red in protected areas of the obverse due to an old cleaning. LDS, Breen state VI early. The top of the first T in STATES is joined to the rim by a small cud break, and a radial die crack passes through the right edge of that T down through the O in ONE to the center dot where it fades out. Removed from an NCS slab graded VF details with scratches and improper cleaning (NCS label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #2870.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
Ex Henry C. Hines-Willard C. Blaisdell 2/8/71-Jules Reiver, Heritage 1/24/06:19399.
