1798 S-177 R4+ Style II Hair, Small 8, PCGS graded XF45Choice glossy medium chocolate and olive brown with frosty lighter brown in protected areas on the obverse. The surfaces are perfectly smooth except for fine die rust off the end of the bust (as struck). Just trivial marks, mostly tiny ticks on the cheek, neck, and inside the wreath. A tiny rim nick over the F in OF is the best identifying mark. MDS, Breen state III, with die cracks and clashmarks. Graded VF25 and tied for CC#2 in the Bland census behind a marginally finer example. Noyes says VF35 net VF30 and tied for CC#1, his photo #25848. Our grade is VF25+, very close to VF30. A very significant cent, and the eye appeal is superb for the grade. Comes with a provenance that is nearly a century old.Certificate Number: 36101.45/61275945Pedigree: Ex James G.
