Description
1798 B-12, BB-120 Silver Dollar, VF25
Probable Terminal Die State
1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9, Close Date, B-12, BB-120, R.4,
VF25 NGC. Bowers Die State V with multiple obverse die cracks,
mostly below the equator left and right of Liberty. The reverse has
a crack below ME of AMERICA. Most of the reverse stars are missing
due to the late die state that Dr. Stark considered to be the
terminal die state of this variety. Medium bluish steel-gray
surfaces show light silver-gray on the design high points of this
pleasing piece that shows minor surface marks and faint scratches
that were unconcerning to the NGC graders. Bowers mentions this
coin for his Die State IV: "A VG specimen in the Stark Collection
was obtained from Jules Reiver, March 1983." Dr. Stark explains:
"Bowers never saw the actual coin; he relied on my inadequate
description in 1993. I overlooked many cracks at the time."Ex: Jules Reiver (3/1983).
From Professor Robert M. Stark's Yolanda Collection.
