Lot 177
1798 S-155 Reverse of 1796 R3. VG-7. Style I Hair with Small 8. Clipped Planchet. A few points sharper but the planchet is very slightly bent. The wear pattern is not affected and the eye appeal of this cent remains quite nice for the grade. Slightly glossy dark olive brown with lighter chocolate toning on the devices. Uniform microscopic roughness covers both sides but there is no verdigris. A minor planchet clip affects the dentils over LI and the opposing ones left of the fraction, as struck. The date is bold and the legends are clear. A decent example of the Reverse of 1796 type for the grade.
Estimated Value $150 - 250.
Ex Clay Everhart-Jim Long.
