Lot 296
1798 S-161 R2 Style I Hair with Small 8. Fine-15 Plus. Sharpness VF20 but there are a few too many tiny nicks on the obverse for the higher grade. None of these nicks is distracting, and the best identifying mark is a small, dull nick under the R in AMERICA. Attractive glossy dark steel brown and chocolate. M-LDS, Breen state IX, with a strong cud break connecting TES to the rim above and a raised retained cud over the adjacent TA. There are some shallow low spots around the lower part of the wreath caused by debris on the die. DWH #3053.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
