Style II Hair, Large 8, R4. Very scarce variety of 1798, steel gray devices with darker fields, second T of STATES initially punched upside down and corrected. Devices light in contrast to fields from an old cleaning, a swath of darker toning in central obverse. This variety is seldom encountered in grades above F and rare as such!
