Lot 196
1798 S-156 R5+ Style I Hair with Reverse of 1796 VG7. Sharpness F12 with uniform very fine granularity under mostly glossy dark olive brown toning. There is a bit of shallow verdigris in the field before the neck, and the only contact marks are a light rim bruise opposite the neck and a tiny rim nick at TE in UNITED. EDS, Breen state I, prior to any die cracks on the obverse. The date is bold and the legends are complete and easily readable. A nice example of this very rare variety in spite of the minor surface issues.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
