1798 S-179 R2 Small 8, Style II Hair, PCGS graded MS65 BrownLustrous tan and light olive brown with traces of mellowed mint red on both sides. Satiny and virtually flawless with mint frost covering even the highest points of the devices. The best identifying features are a subtle puff of darker olive toning on the swollen area left of the lowest curls and another in the field before the neck. LDS, Breen state V late. There is a very narrow rim cud over the D with an extension to above ST. Dull die clashmarks show on both sides. The E over Inverted E in AMERICA is clear. Graded MS65 and finest known in the Bland census. Noyes says MS65 and tied for CC#1, his photo #26096. Our grade is MS65. A premium cent in every respect; the only one seen with the D-ST rim cud.Certificate Number: 36104.65/57538519Pedigree: Ex Stack's (privately) 12/1983-Herman Halpern 2/28/1986-C.
