Lot 160
1798 S-164 R4 Style I Hair, Small 8 PCGS Genuine, VF Details, Rim Damage. Glossy medium brown and light chocolate with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints and a spot of dark olive brown toning on the bust. The surfaces are smooth and the toning is very attractive, but there are numerous light rim bruises on both sides, none especially distracting but certainly too many to ignore. The notable ones are under the 79 and over the second T in STATES. Rare EDS, Breen state I. The obverse die is perfect, free of any bulges or chips, and the reverse is nearly upset with a 170 degree CCW rotation from the normal head-to-foot die orientation (the upset reverse is noted by Breen as having been seen in his state I). Our grade is F12+ sharpness net VG10. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label (PCGS # 36056) .
Estimated Value $400-UP.
Ex Fred Lochary 8/2008.
