1798 S-185 R2 Style II Hair with Small 8 VF30.
1798 S-185 R2 Style II Hair with Small 8. VF-30. Sharpness EF45 but covered with very fine granularity, strongest on the reverse but not really strong anywhere. No verdigris, and the only marks are a thin horizontal nick on the upper lip and a faint diagonal hairline scratch in the field off the bust tip. Rather glossy dark olive and steel brown. E-MDS, Breen state IV. There are a few fine die cracks at TY but the radial crack through the Y to the forehead has not formed. The reverse is rotated 15 degrees CCW. Called EF45 net VF35 by Bland and tied for CC#5. Noyes says EF40 net VF25 and tied for CC#9, his photo #23213. DWH #2547.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
