Pleasing 1798 Large Eagle, Pointed 9 Dollar
B-31, BB-115, AU50

1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9 AU50 PCGS. B-31, BB-115, R.5. The variety is confirmed by: the digit 8 of the date out of position, high and leaning slightly right; a die crack traveling from below the 9 through the two inner points of star 1 and ending in the field; a star close to, but not touching, both upper and lower points of the eagle's beak; a leaf points near the center of the upright of I in AMERICA; and 13 arrows, with the one overlapping the third shaft from the right having a tiny head. Silver-gray surfaces reveal occasional whispers of light tan, and traces of luster in the protected areas. The design elements are well centered on the planchet, and nicely defined, though the middle portion of the eagle's breast displays minor smoothness. Relatively clean surfaces show just a few minute marks, mostly in the fields.
