Lot 571
1798 S-178 R5+ Style II Hair, Small 8, Reverse of 1796 G4. Very slightly sharper, particularly on the obverse, but the planchet displays microscopic roughness and there are myriad fine scratches on the portrait. Slightly glossy dark olive brown with lighter steel brown toning on the highpoints. LDS with a pair of die cracks through the date. The date is clear but the legends on the reverse are weak, although the single leaves at the top of the wreath are visible.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
