1798 S-154 R4+ Style I Hair, Large 8, PCGS AU Detail, ResidueGlossy medium brown and light chocolate with frosty lighter brown in protected areas. Lightly worn with smooth surfaces, lots of flowline luster, and great eye appeal. There are traces of crud around the L in LIBERTY and a dull scratch at the lower curls; otherwise essentially flawless. E-MDS, Breen state I, with swelling on both sides and die clashmarks on the reverse. Graded VF30 and tied for CC#6 in the Bland census. Noyes says VF35 net VF25 and tied for CC#6, his photo #26065. Our grade is VF35+ sharpness net VF30. A beautiful cent except for the trace of crud; perhaps deserving of a proper bath.Certificate Number: 36032.94/52084633Pedigree: Ex J. C.
