Not Sold Description
Remarkable 1798 Dollar, B-8, BB-125, XF40
1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9 XF40 ANACS. B-8, BB-125, R.2. A long, vertical die flaw in the left field identifies the obverse die, while four berries (this is the only four-berry reverse of the year) is diagnostic for the reverse. Die State III, as determined by the die cracks from ED in UNITED to STATES, from OF to AME in AMERICA, and the heavy crack from the border through the C in AMERICA that ends at the shield. The Bowers-Borckardt reference writes that about 25% of the surviving BB-125 dollars are of this die state. The obverse stars and the reverse are weakly struck, as typically seen, and star 5 is only partially visible, also as usual (it disappears in the next die state). A small planchet crack is noted near the E in AMERICA (partially visible on the obverse, as well), but it does not obscure any of the design elements. The surfaces are splendidly clean and smooth, with a delightful medium gray patina throughout. A remarkable early dollar.
