1798 S-153 R3 Large 8 with Style I Hair F15+
Sharpness VF30 or slightly better but there are numerous very light scratches on the obverse, mostly in the field at the hair ribbon, plus very fine roughness on much of that side. The reverse is smooth and choice. No verdigris, and the toning is glossy medium brown and chocolate with some small splashes of darker olive on the obverse. M-LDS, Breen state V. The bulge in the field left of the lower curls is clear. A thin but clear double profile shows on the forehead, chin, and neck. The eye appeal of this cent is clearly better than the net grade assigned here.
