Description

1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9, Wide Date, B-23, BB-105, R.3, VF35 PCGS. Bowers Die State III. A band of bluish-gray toning surrounds silver-gray centers of this Wide Date early dollar. The 1 is distant from the curl and the 8 touches the lower fold of Liberty's drapery. This example is well-defined for the Choice VF designation, especially on the reverse where the field stars are bold and only minor wear shows on the eagle's neck, breast, and scroll. Field star 12 is well clear of the eagle's beak. Only light abrasions are seen with a loupe and there are no adjustment marks on either side.
