Lot 282
1798 S-156 R5+ Style I Hair with Small 8. Reverse of 1796. Good-6. Very slightly sharper with extremely faint roughness covering the fields. No verdigris, but there are a few contact marks, including a small, old scrape in the hair just right of the ribbon knot and a shallow dent on the N in ONE. Slightly glossy dark chocolate with medium chocolate toning covering the devices. The date is bold and the legends are complete except for the D in UNITED, which is weak thanks to die failure at that spot. Rare LDS, Breen state III. The die crack from the rim to the bust is strong and it meanders across the bust into the lower curls left of the shoulder and weakly into the field under the ribbon. DWH #3445.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
