1798 Wide Date Dollar, AU50
B-12, BB-120, Terminal Die State
Large Eagle, Pointed 9

1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9, Wide Date, B-12, BB-120, R.4, AU50 PCGS. Bowers Die State V. A rare coin in this advanced die state, with obvious die failure above the date at Liberty's lower-most curl and drapery. A corresponding failure on the reverse obliterates most of the field stars and some of the encircling clouds. Multiple die cracks radiate from the edges through the date and stars on the obverse, and a diagnostic crack curls through the denticles above ES OF AM. The coin shows little actual wear and smooth, unblemished fields. Lavender tones visit the iridescent surfaces with nice remaining luster, providing excellent visual appeal.
