1798 S-175 R3 Style II Hair, Small 8 VF25Highly glossy dark olive brown with lighter steel brown toning on the highpoints. The surfaces are smooth and the sharpness is at least 10 points better, but the gloss has been enhanced by a thin coat of "Care" or some similar protectant. The only notable mark is a nick nestled against the head just over the hair ribbon. TDS, Breen state VI, with a cud break at UN and die cracks on the reverse. Graded VF30 and tied for CC#9 in the Bland census. Noyes says VF25 net VF20 and tied for CC#15, his photo #26152. The eye appeal of this cent is better than the description might imply. Comes with a nice provenance.Certificate Number: Pedigree: Ex Henry C. Hines-Homer K. Downing, 1952 ANA Sale (New Netherlands Coin Co.), lot 1828-Willard C. Blaisdell-Gordon J. Wrubel-Myles Z.
