Lot 293
1798 S-159 R3+ Style I Hair with Small 8. VG-8. Sharpness VF25 or a bit better but uniformly granular. Just a few traces of light verdigris. The only notable mark is a deep planchet chip from the rim under the 7 up through that digit, effectively obliterating the lower half of the digit. This defect is as struck, but it really catches the eye and detracts from the eye appeal of an otherwise sharp cent. Rare LDS, Breen state VII, with a strong cud break connecting the top of the L in LIBERTY to the rim above. DWH #0187.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
