1798 Draped Bust Large Cent

[cannonball]

I had a little play time this weekend so I decided to recon new sites. On the way to the area I got distracted when I saw a clam fragment at a construction site on the side of the highway. I usually stay in the pine barrens because the large cents get destroyed in the fields. I almost forgot what it was like to spend a sunny day in a field. I managed to spot this Indian pestle sitting right on top (look behind the detector in the picture) The large cent came out of a trashed out area using high discrimination and the buckle and rig came from a clean wooded area. Please chime in if you can identify the variety of large cent.

It's a "Style 1 Hair" 1798 cent. They are harder to find than "Style 2 hair." The "9" in the date is tipped to the left, which possibly points to one of the 1798/7 overdates (S-150, S-151, S-152). Based on the position of the "E" over the hair on the obverse, I'm going to guess 1798/7 S-152. Congrats on a nice find!
