1798 S-147 R5- Style I Hair, Large 8 PCGS graded AU55, CAC ApprovedFrosty light to medium brown with slightly darker steel brown toning on the highpoints of the devices. No spots, stains, or planchet flaws, but there are some small contact marks scattered over both sides, especially in the field behind the portrait. None of the marks is significant and the eye appeal of this cent is excellent. The best identifying marks are a diagonal nick under the Y in LIBERTY and a tiny planchet void near the leaf under the left foot of the N in UNITED. Sharply struck EDS, Breen state I. There are fine die clashmarks on both sides but no cracks on the reverse. Struck with the obverse die slightly misaligned to K-2 while the reverse is reasonably well centered on the planchet. A great cent that was discovered in England. Graded EF40 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #60571. Not seen by Bland. Our grade is EF45 sharpness net EF40+. Another wonderful cent; only 4 are known that grade above Fine by EAC grading standards.Certificate Number: 36020.55/32783432Pedigree: Ex a British dealer-Henry T. Hettger 7/30/2008-Thomas D.
