1798 S-178 R5+ Style II Hair, Reverse of 1796 G5
Glossy light steel brown and chocolate. The surfaces are smooth except for the fine die rust that comes in the late die state. The obverse is a few points sharper than the reverse, as always on this variety due to the earlier use of the reverse to strike the 1796 S-81 Liberty Cap cents. The best identifying mark is a puff of darker olive brown toning over the right side of the E in ONE. LDS, Breen state IV (which he calls Extremely Rare) with strong parallel cracks through the date and a clear die crack arcing from the second T in STATES to the first A in AMERICA. In addition there are tiny cuds on either side of the 7 where the cracks have expanded. A neat die state. The date is bold, LIBERTY is complete, and the legends on the reverse are mostly readable although OF is gone as are parts of UNITED thanks to minor swelling in those areas.
