Lot 340
1798 S-148 R2. VF-20 Plus. Style I Hair with Large 8. Attractive glossy chocolate brown. No corrosion or verdigris, only light contact marks consistent with the grade. The only notable mark is a diagonal nick in the hair at the forehead. E-MDS, Breen state III. Called VF25 and tied for CC#8 in the Noyes census, his photo #36614. The eye appeal is quite nice and this cent may well deserve the full VF25 grade assigned in the condition census. In addition, the reverse is slightly misaligned to K-3 while the obverse is nicely centered on the planchet.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
