Lot 202
1798 S-164 R4 Small 8 with Style I Hair VG10. Five points sharper but lightly cleaned and retoned glossy medium brown and chocolate. No corrosion or verdigris, but there are a half dozen rim nicks on the reverse, the strongest of these at the R in AMERICA. M-LDS, Breen state V late. Obvious swelling has weakened the 179 in the date, die erosion has created roughness in the field before the portrait, and die clashmarks show close to the rim in that same area. A neat die state and a decent example for the grade.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
