Lot 195
1798 S-155 R3 Style I Hair with Reverse of 1796 G4. Sharpness at least VF20 but corroded as if it was soaked in a mild acid or brine solution. No marks or verdigris and the color is a decent mix of chocolate and light brown. The details suggest this cent experienced very little wear before taking the acid bath (perhaps in a pickle barrel to help keep them green). The date, legends, and devices are complete and clear.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
