1798 B-29, BB-119 Dollar, XF45
Large Eagle, Pointed 9, Scarce Die Pair

1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9, Close Date, B-29, BB-119, R.4, XF45 PCGS. Ex: Miller. Bowers Die State II. Brief glimpses of mint luster remain on this Choice XF example of the scarce BB-119 die pair. After numerous uses, the obverse die was retired after striking the variety, while the reverse die was used again to strike BB-120. As one might imagine, the obverse is softly struck from the worn and cracked die (as are all examples of the variety). Silver-gray surfaces show a speckling of powder-gray patina on both sides, but no heavy abrasions or adjustment marks.
