<B>1798 1C First Hair Style--Double Struck, Second Strike Rotated--AU53 NGC.</B></I> S-158, B-17, R.4. Breen Die State II with a heavy die crack near the T in UNITED. Medium brown and steel-blue with glimpses of golden-brown. Both strikes are independently normal, but the second strike is rotated 90 degrees CCW from the initial strike. Likely, the piece was struck, then inadvertently fed between the dies a second time. Even if this cent were not a significant mint error, it would still be important as a sharp, lightly abraded, nearly carbon-free, and partly lustrous representative of this scarce First Hair Style variety.
