Lot 648
1799/8 S-188 R4 Overdate 9 over 8. VG-10. Attractive glossy chocolate brown with olive brown toning nestled into the most-protected areas on both sides. Excellent eye appeal for the grade, especially for a 1799/8 cent. The only defects are a few small contact marks, including a dull pinprick in the field close under the chin and a rim nick over the right edge of the I in LIBERTY. EDS, Breen state I. The date and legends are complete and clear and the overdate is obvious. The obverse is slightly misaligned to K-7 while the reverse is properly centered on the planchet. A very nice example for the grade.
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
