LOT 182 1798 S-145 R3 Style I Hair, Large 8 PCGS graded XF45, CAC Approved . Choice glossy medium brown and light chocolate brown with slightly darker steel brown toning on the highpoints. Frosty luster shows in the protected areas on both sides and the eye appeal of this cent is outstanding. The surfaces are smooth and the only marks are a tiny nick in the field at the throat, a dull nick on the base of the E in CENT, and a trio of tiny rim nicks at STA in STATES. MDS, Breen state IV early. A fine die crack shows over the O in OF and the only buckling on the reverse is confined to that area. Struck on a planchet that shows diagonal reeding on the edge (Breen’s planchet type V). Called VF35 and tied for CC#3 in the Bland census. Noyes says EF45 net EF40 and tied for CC#1 honors with one other piece, his photo #24394. Our grade is VF35+ , very close to EF40. Another beautiful cent that comes with a nice provenance. 36014.45/28579783
