1798 Large Eagle, Pointed 9 Dollar, AU53
Wide Date, B-23, BB-105

1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9, Wide Date, B-23, BB-105, R.3, AU53 PCGS. Bowers Die State II. The wide date with 8 firmly touching the bust and star 13 close to the bust tip help attribute this relatively available die variety. The reverse shows an arrowhead extending to the center of the N in UNITED. Four-line stripes show in the shield (four pale gules if you speak Heraldic), fitting this into the Guide Book's Pointed 9, Wide Date category. Star 7 points directly at the lower serif of L in LIBERTY, and star 2 to a space between dentils. Die rust appears above and in several letters of LIBERTY and around star 13. The gray-white surfaces of this lightly circulated dollar show a few scattered marks and darker toning within some of the devices, none of the marks overt save for one nick behind Liberty's ear.
