1798 S-187 R1 Style II Hair with Small 8. EF-45. Five points sharper with some tiny contact marks scattered about both sides, the only notable one a very light rim bruise left of the L in LIBERTY. A microscopic planchet lamination in the field over the upper end of the hair ribbon, as struck, can help identify this cent. Frosty dark steel brown and chocolate with frosty mint luster covering the fields and protected areas. The toning is a bit mottled but the eye appeal is quite nice. E-MDS, Breen state II, with a couple fine die cracks at CA to the fraction and right ribbon. Called EF40 net VF35 and tied for CC#15, Noyes photo #27190. DWH #2793.
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
