Description
1798 B-28, BB-118 Bust Dollar, AU53
Bowers Plate Coin
1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9, Close Date, B-28, BB-118, R.3,
AU53 PCGS. Ex: Miller. Bowers Die State II. Actually, an
intermediate state between I and II, with a single die crack to the
left of the eagle's tail and only a slight hint of a developing
second crack parallel to the initial one. The Bowers reference
describes AU or finer examples as rare, and accordingly this very
piece makes the list of Notable Specimens. A generous amount of
mint luster survives on the golden-gray and lilac surfaces that
cover both sides of the coin. The variety is sharply struck in most
regards, yet weakness at the middle field stars exemplifies the
reverse of BB-118 -- the sole use of the reverse die. This is the
Bowers Encyclopedia plate coin for the variety.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24X6, Variety PCGS# 40035, Base PCGS# 40018, Greysheet# 199107)
