Mintage of 1,841,745/PCGS pop. of 30 Philadelphia Mint Certified PCGS VG10 1798 Large Cents are known as 'First' and 'Second' Hairstyles.

The new version, with the obvious curl, is also known as the 'Head of 1799' because researchers believe all such varieties were struck in 1799 even though they were dated 1798. In particular, the 1799/8 Large Cents are all of the Second Hairstyle. Finding Uncirculated examples of the 1798 Second Hairstyle is quite difficult. Get yours before suppliers run out!
