Charming 1798 Dollar, B-29, BB-119, VF25

1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9 VF25 NGC. B-29, BB-119, R.4. This obverse die was coupled with multiple reverse dies, and by this point in its use a large three-pronged die crack had developed at the rim beneath the date. The first crack goes to star 1 and then to the ribbon, the second bisects the 9 and ends at the bust, and the third goes around the right side of the date, runs through the bust, and ends in the field. The middle star on the reverse is weakly struck, as typically seen, but the rest of the details are well-defined. This is a transitional die state, with the crack through UNITED faint and incomplete (Die State II). Pleasing gunmetal toning covers both sides of this well-preserved example. The surfaces are clean and entirely problem-free. A delightful, scarce variety.(Registry values: N1793)
