Description

Important 1799/8 S-188 Cent

1799/8 1C PCGS Genuine. S-188, B-2, R.4. The PCGS number ending in .97 suggests Environmental Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of a Fine specimen that has been corroded. Both sides of this important cent exhibit a blend of dark steel and olive in the fields, with lighter tan on the devices. Three die varieties of 1799 cents are known, including two from the overdated obverse die. All are elusive and in constant demand. MRB Good 6.
