Description
1798 B-28, BB-118 Bust Dollar, XF40
Near-Terminal Reverse Die State
1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9, Close Date, B-28, BB-118, R.3,
XF40 PCGS. Ex: Miller. Bowers Die State V. The reverse die soon
met its demise and appears only on the present variety. The obverse
die appears on multiple varieties. Two prominent, parallel die
cracks to the left of the eagle's tail help identify the BB-118 die
pair. The late state of the reverse is confirmed by a large piece
of the die absent between the two cracks, and sinking of the
adjacent area. The obverse is likewise cracked below and through
the date, to star 1, and well into the left field. Brown and tan
toning blankets both sides with traces of remaining gold luster.
The coin is sharply defined for the grade, although some of the
field stars are weak as normal for the variety. This attractive
early dollar is the Bowers Encyclopedia plate coin to
illustrate the advanced state of the BB-118 reverse die.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24X6, Variety PCGS# 40035, Base PCGS# 40018, Greysheet# 199107)
