1798 Large Eagle Five, XF Details
BD-4, 13 Stars Reverse

1798 $5 Large Eagle, Large 8, 13 Stars Reverse, BD-4, High R.4 -- Obverse Scratched -- NGC Details. XF. Ex: Hilt Collection. Bass-Dannreuther Die State d/e, terminal. This is the final use of both dies. BD-4 is the most plentiful of the seven 1798 Large Eagle five dollar varieties, but it is still itself scarce, with only 80 to 100 examples believed known in all grades. This piece exhibits pleasing green-gold coloration, though the central design elements show light wear. A few old, light scratches in the left and right obverse fields preclude a numerical grade from NGC, but are not overly detracting to the unaided eye.
