1798 S-167 R1 Large 8, Style II Hair VF25Glossy chocolate brown and steel with lighter brown in protected areas on the obverse. Lightly worn and smooth except for a patch of microscopic roughness and verdigris on the bust. A vertical nick over the right top of the T in CENT is the only other notable defect. EDS but not the earliest, Breen state I late, with very light die chips on the reverse. The number "10" is neatly punched into the edge below the date, most likely to identify this piece as the Proskey 10 die variety.Certificate Number: Pedigree: Ex Robert Le Blanc (Le Blanc Numismatics)-Denis W.
