1798 1C First Hair Style--Obverse Double Struck
1798 1C First Hair Style--Obverse Double Struck Only--VG10 PCGS. S-145, R.3. Large 8 in closely spaced date. The fraction bar extends to the right ribbon. The date, bust truncation, and lower right side denticles are widely doubled. The reverse shows only slight evidence of a second strike, mostly limited to the right side denticles. Apparently the anvil die was stationary between the two strikes, while the hammer die shifted a few degrees to the northwest. The centers are well worn, and a couple of faint pinscratches are noted inside the wreath. The medium brown surfaces are smooth, and the peripheral legends are sharper than the assigned grade implies. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
