Description

1798 Draped Bust Dollar, XF45
Scarce B-31a, BB-115 Die Pair
Ex: Bolender (Plate Coin)

1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9, Close Date, 4 Lines, B-31a, BB-115, R.4, XF45 NGC. Bowers Die State IV. Struck from a near-terminal state of the reverse die, this Choice XF early dollar traces back to M.H. Bolender's collection, where it was the plate coin for his B-31a variety (BB-115) -- then thought to be an R.7 variety, although more examples are known today. This coin still approaches the Condition Census for the die pair. Haseltine was unaware of the die marriage, which features a sole use of the reverse die.

High rims and broad obverse denticles indicate an especially deep strike. The reverse is sharper than usual, with all of the field stars visible and crisp definition of the other motifs despite numerous cracks that foreshadow a shattered die. Smooth, attractive surfaces are richly iridescent with traces of mint luster. Only the expected tiny marks and minor abrasions are seen under a loupe.
