1798 Draped Bust Cent 2nd Hair Style BN PCGS VF25

Mintage of 1,841,745 /PCGS pop: 54 Philadelphia Mint Graded VF25 by PCGS 1798 Large Cents are known as 'First' and 'Second' Hairstyles. These are misnomers because the hairstyles are actually quite similar and differ only by the addition of a conspicuous hair curl just left of and below the ear on the Second Hairstyle. 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!
