1798 S-172 R2 Style II Hair, Small 8 VF35+Glossy chocolate and steel brown with slightly lighter brown toning on the face. The reverse is delicately mottled with some lighter brown tones in protected areas. Mint frost covers the protected areas and this cent has really nice eye appeal. The surfaces are smooth and show only a few trivial marks including a very tiny pinprick in the field under the chin, a light horizontal nick over the N in CENT, and a dull nick in the dentils over the right side of the O in OF. Terminal die state, Breen state VI, with a strong cud break joining ICA to the rim above. Noyes graded EF40 net VF30 and tied for CC#14 overall and CC#4 of the TDS, his photo #23186. A very nice cent that is accompanied by an equally nice provenance.Certificate Number: Pedigree: Ex Fred Sweeney 7/22/1970-Philip Van Cleave, Kagin's 1/30/1986:5187-C. Douglas Smith-Dr. Robert A.
