Lot 397
1798 S-177 R4+ Small 8, Style II Hair G5. Off Center. Rather glossy chocolate and steel brown with hints of reddish chocolate on both sides. The surfaces are mostly smooth with only traces of microscopic roughness on the lower part of the reverse. The notable marks are a small punchmark on the throat and an old vertical scratch in the field before the throat. EDS, Breen state II. Struck 10% off center to K-10.5. The date is complete and clear and the legend on the upper right part of the reverse is strong (so strong it suggests a much higher grade than the G5 assigned). DWH #3454.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
