Lot 270
1798 S-148 R2 Style I Hair with Large 8. Good-6. Terminal Die State. Rather glossy chocolate and greenish olive brown. The toning is attractive, but this cent most likely was lightly cleaned long ago. The only marks are a couple tiny planchet chips at TED in UNITED. Very rare terminal die state, Breen state VIII, with strong rim cud breaks joining the bust tip and ERTY to the rim. Called net G6 by Noyes, his photo #23043. DWH #2494.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
