1798 S-171 R4 Small 8, Style II Hair F15
1798 S-171 R4 Small 8, Style II Hair F15. At least ten points sharper with microscopic roughness in the fields and protected areas, strongest around the lower end of the hair ribbon and at the Y in LIBERTY. Even in those places the roughness is trivial, and the glossy olive brown and chocolate toning gives this cent decent eye appeal. A short scratch on the shoulder is the only notable mark. Very rare EDS, Breen state I, without the die failure left of L in LIBERTY.
Estimated Value $400-UP.

Provenance: Ex Bowers & Merena 6/24/1996:214-Lawrie Rhoads collection.
