1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9, 5 Vertical Lines, 10 Arrows,
B-17, BB-101, R.5, AU53 NGC. Ex: Jules Reiver Collection.
Bowers Die State III. Lovely deep golden-gray toning with ample
luster in the protected areas. The strike is sharp on the obverse
for this heavily lapped die, with weak dentils seen on the left
obverse rim, and a thin die crack that extends up through the first
five stars. There are several small raised die lumps left of the
date to star 1, including one on star 1, and a small spike hanging
from the E, probably from clashing with the eagle's tail on the
reverse. Faint adjustment marks are found on Liberty's bust and the
field above. Identifiable by a short scratch below the clouds
beneath the O in OF on the reverse. Well up in the Condition Census
for the variety and no more than four or five probably survive so
well preserved. A very difficult variety to obtain with so much eye
appeal and surface quality, and this one has an illustrious
pedigree.Ex: Harlan P. Smith (Chapman Brothers 6/1906); Col. E. H. R. Green; 1952 ANA O. K. Rumbel Sale (8/1952), lot 3133; William G. Baldenhofer; M. H. Bolender's 184th Sale (4/1953), lot 277; K.
