Description
Desirable 1798 S-144 Large Cent
1798 1C First Hair Style. S-144, B-1, Low R.6--Corroded--NCS. Good Details. Good 6 EAC. Breen's Large Cent Encyclopedia notes that this variety is usually found in low grades, on porous Coltman planchets. The present example is finely corroded, with black fields and lighter-colored devices. The surface quality prevents determination of the die state, but no reverse die cracks are visible. The surface erosion is worst at the center reverse, where ONE is illegible. The peripheral legends are strong on both sides, however, and the date, the closest-spaced among the 1798 varieties, is bold, with broad dentilation showing beneath it. There is an old, short gash just beneath the ribbon that blends with the fields. The Breen Encyclopedia enumerates only two examples of this variety in its expanded Condition Census of 16 coins (according to conservative EAC standards) that exceed a grade of Very Good 10.Ex: Dr. Kenneth J. Sartoris; Del Bland (5/19/1972). Envelope Included.(Registry values: N208)
