Description

Condition Census
1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9, Wide Date, B-15, BB-112, R.3,
MS61 ANACS. Bowers Die State II-III, with star 13 smaller than
the other stars. Those two die states are the same as the reverse
crack of State III is actually an engraver's scratch that is
present on all uses of the reverse die, including BB-110 through
BB-113. Only one Mint State example appeared in the Notable
Specimens of the 1993 Bowers-Borckardt book, while four additional
examples, including the present piece, were added to the 2013
revision. Apricot and mauve patina enriches this silky early
dollar. Liberty's jaw has a moderate handling mark, but the
surfaces are surprisingly unabraded. The eagle's head and a few
upper reverse stars are not fully struck, as is common for the type
due to the opposite and relatively high relief of Liberty's
shoulder. The dies are rotated slightly counterclockwise.Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/2002), lot 6459; Portland Signature (Heritage, 3/2004), lot 5949; Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2013), lot 4318.
