1798 B-5, BB-93 Dollar, XF Details
Important Heraldic Eagle Rarity

1798 $1 Large Eagle, Knob 9, 10 Arrows, 4 Vertical Lines, B-5, BB-93, R.6 -- Cleaned -- NGC Details. XF. Bowers Die State III. The bisecting vertical die crack separates the right third of the reverse from the left two-thirds. The majority of BB-93 dollars have this die crack that follows the right shield border and extends up past the second S in STATES, and down to the border where a retained cud envelops the stem end. Although cleaned, this piece has exceptional surfaces with pleasing gold-gray toning. Dr. Stark discusses the acquisition of this piece:

"Jules Reiver, planning to attend this California sale, inquired about my interest. Taking note of the coins I already owned, I allotted about $5000 to choose coins for me. Based on lot number, this is the first of several coins he bought for me and for which, as much else, I'm even more grateful today."
