LOT 249 1798 S-185 R2 Small 8, Style II Hair F12 Rather glossy dark steel brown and chocolate with lighter steel brown toning on the devices. The surfaces look smooth to the unaided eye but a glass reveals extremely faint granularity under the toning. No verdigris and only a few notable marks including a minor rim bruise off the chin, a nick near the dentils before the neck, and a few very old, light scratches on the reverse. Scarce LDS, Breen state VIII, with a strong cud break at IC in AMERICA in addition to the earlier die cracks. $500
