Description
Exemplary 1798/7 Sheldon-152
1798/7 S-152, R.2. Sharpness of XF 40, net VF 30. Here is an exceptional, high-grade example of this all-too-difficult variety. On the obverse, there is a minor rough patch in the right field, and smaller patches on the lower obverse. The reverse has some tiny green spots and small patches of porosity scattered through the legend and devices. In addition, there are trivial rim marks, notably beneath the fraction, above the E of UNITED, and surrounding the first A of AMERICA. Identifiable by a tick mark on the right top of the first T of STATES and a horizontal scrape at the center of Liberty's chest.This coin probably didn't circulate very long, as little wear is visible on the highpoints of the devices. The color is medium-brown, with the darker patches as noted, and the surfaces are a bit glossy. Probably within the low end of the twelve-coin Condition Census, and extremely difficult to find with surfaces even approaching this specimen's quality. A formidable coin that will be a centerpiece of an advanced collection.
