Lot 182
1799/8 S-188 R4. ANACS graded VF Details net G4 for corrosion. Overdate 9 over 8. Sharpness VF25 or slightly better but this cent was lost in soil for some time with the usual telltale greenish verdigris evident on both sides. Traces of dirt remain in the most-protected areas, and this cent may benefit from a careful cleaning to remove some of the crud. The date is full but not easy to make out thanks to the verdigris and crud, but a careful examination indicates there is a lot of meat hiding under the eye-catching junk that dominates the planchet. Our grade is net AG3+ as it stands; possibly better (or worse?) if given some TLC.
Estimated Value $600 - 800.
