1798 S-147 R5- Large 8, Style I Hair VG10

A point or two sharper but recolored slightly glossy uniform dark steel and olive brown. Mostly smooth but a glass reveals traces of microscopic roughness on the reverse. Just minor contact marks including a half dozen small digs on the reverse with a couple on the leaf under the C in AMERICA and one on the E in UNITED. The date is strong and the legends are clear. EDS, Breen state I, before any die cracks on the reverse. A variety that is difficult to find in higher grade; only three known that grade better than Fine by EAC standards, and one of those is in the ANS Collection.
