Mint State 1798 Large Eagle, Pointed 9 Dollar
B-27, BB-113

1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9 MS61 NGC. B-27, BB-113, R.2. Bowers-Borckardt Die State II. The 8 in the date is much too high and tilted to the right at the top, and a tiny die flaw appears near an inner point of star 12. The highest wave of hair is partially lapped away. On the reverse a wispy die crack runs from above the last S, through the tops of OF and the right wing tip, to the rim above the first A. This is a splendid, fully Mint State early dollar, with excellent luster over pinkish-blue surfaces. There are no adjustment marks or singular abrasions. This is a generally available variety for which examples are known up through the higher Mint State grades, and this is likely the second finest we have ever handled. For the Large Eagle, Pointed 9 coins, Census: 16 in 61, 29 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N4719)
