1798 S-169 R3 Small 8, Style II Hair VG10+. Nice glossy chocolate brown and darker steel. No defects, only minor contact marks consistent with the grade. Close to F12. M-LDS, Breen state IV. The obverse is slightly misaligned to K-7.5 while the reverse is properly centered on the planchet. An attractive example of a variety that is surprisingly difficult to find in high grade. And it comes with a nice provenance. Estimated Value $300-UP
