^Lot 320 1798 S-147 R5- Large 8, Style I Hair VG10+

1798 S-147 R5- Large 8, Style I Hair VG10+Glossy brown and light olive with reddish brown in protected areas on the reverse. Slightly sharper with smooth surfaces and very nice eye appeal, but there are some light contact marks at the top of the obverse. A dull nick at the base of the B in LIBERTY is the only notable mark, but the strike is a bit uneven with weakness on the left edge of the reverse thanks to that die being slightly misaligned to K-9 while the obverse is nicely centered on the planchet. EDS, Breen state I, before any die cracks on the reverse. Graded VG10 and tied for CC#10 in the Bland census. Noyes says F12 net VG10 and tied for CC#7, his photo #26274.Certificate Number: Pedigree: Ex C. R. Mathewson-Robert Le Blanc (Le Blanc Numismatics) 6/1982-Denis W. Loring-Fred H. Borcherdt Collection
