1798 S-145 R3 Large 8, Style I Hair VF20+

Sharpness VF30 but there is a patch of reddish brown toning on the upper right part of the reverse, and this reddish area shows fine corrosion, strongest at the E in ONE where there are tiny specks of green verdigris. Most of the reverse is smooth and the obverse is choice. The only notable contact mark is a light rim bruise at the first T in STATES. MDS, Breen state IV early. There are die clashmarks on the reverse and crumbling under the O in ONE but the swelling is confined to ES-OF. Attractive glossy medium brown and light chocolate (except for the reddish area on the reverse). The date and legends are all bold. Comes with a nice provenance.
