Description
Important MS62 1798 Large Eagle Dollar
Pointed 9, B-14, BB-122
1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9 MS62 NGC. CAC. B-14, BB-122,
R.3. Die State III, with beginnings of the die crack through stars
2 through 5. Described by NGC as a "Wide Date" variety, though this
point could be contended. In his Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars
of the United States, Q. David Bowers points out a simple
diagnostic for this scarce variety: the eagle's claw touches the
final A in AMERICA, and the BB-122 is the only use of the only die
that has this feature. The Bowers reference has its condition
census for the die pair go up only to AU50, though some allowance
must be made for personal versus certified grading.Iridescent luster bathes the lively surfaces of this well struck and unworn example. Dots of milky toning are present at the peripheral obverse and reverse, with silver-green and blue-gray shadings seen elsewhere. Impressively appealing and desirable in every respect.(Registry values: N7079)
