Lot 271
1798 S-149 R5+ Style I Hair with Large 8. About Good-3. Sharpness VF20 but corroded, the roughness moderate to strong and relatively uniform on both sides. The right obverse field was smoothed a bit. No verdigris or notable marks. The date and legends are strong. Rather glossy dark chocolate, probably from an old recoloring following the obverse smoothing, but the color is attractive and appears natural. EDS, Breen state I, before the die buckled at S-OF-A. The edge is partially reeded, as usual. Great detail for the variety. DWH #0182.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
