Description

Crisp 1799/8 Cent, S-188

1799/8 1C PCGS Genuine. S-188, B-2, R.4. The obverse is identified by the overdate, while the reverse is distinguished by two pairs of stemless leaves: one above the E in ONE, the other to the left of the ME in AMERICA. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, the coin has the details of a Fine specimen with obverse rim damage at 11 o'clock, and it is cleaned and retoned. Deep brown patina covers both sides, with a hint of lighter color along the border of the reverse. The centers are moderately granular, and a small scratch is noted to the left of the second S in STATES. Otherwise, this is a nice example with lovely design detail. MRB VG8.(Registry values: P6, N6)
