1798 S-148 R2 Style I Hair, Large 8, PCGS graded AU58+Frosty tan with steel brown toning on the highpoints. A sharp, very attractive cent with just a light touch of friction on the highpoints. The sharpness is closer to mint state than the grade we assigned, but there is a very light, barely visible scratch from the neck to the bust. Otherwise just a few small nicks in the field under the hair ribbon and a small low spot in the field against the neck. M-LDS, Breen state VI, with a bold cud break connecting ERTY to the rim and fine die cracks on both sides. Our grade is net EF45+. A relatively new discovery that came from England; not seen by Noyes or Bland. This is the finest known example with the cud break at ERTY. A prize for the collector of significant die states.Certificate Number: 36023.58+/61275938Pedigree: From England in 2009-Fred H. Borcherdt Collection
