|
|
The obverse die used on S-168 and S-169 was paired up with three different reverses for S-148, S-153, and S-168. Proximity of LIBERTY to the rim, and the peripheral die crack around the reverse gets... |

1798 2nd Hair Style (S-166, R.1). PCGS Genuine.

|
1798 2nd Hair Style (S-186, R.2). PCGS VF-20.
|
|
There is an intriguing connection between 1798 S-186 and the rare 1799/8 S-188 in that the same reverse die was used to strike both die marriages. Yet by following the progression of an arcing die... |

1798 2nd Hair Style (S-170, R-3). VF.

1798 Small 8's/ 2nd Hair Style and Lettering (S-169, R-3) Fine...

1798 2nd Hair Style, Arc Crack (S-187, R-1). VF details.
