Description
1798 B-8, BB-125 with Nine and a Half Obverse Stars
1798 $1 Pointed 9, Four Berries. B-8, BB-125, R.2--Improperly Cleaned--NCS. VF Details. Die chip at border over left upright of T; Only four berries in branch. Reiver die state e. Bowers-Borckardt die state IV. This is a later die state with nine strong stars, the third star is about half gone and three very weak ones on the obverse. Light silvery gray in color, and apparently cleaned a bit too harshly sometime in the past. The obverse has been lapped, reducing the clashed outline of the eagle's wing over Liberty's chest and the reverse die has shattered with the heavy crack through the C of AMERICA and several areas of swelling and cracking are noted with a loupe. This variety was collected in die states by both W. Earl Spies and Jules Reiver as one of the most interesting die deteriorations of the entire Bust dollar series.Ex: Colonial Coins (7/30/1979).
