Description

NGC 1798 Large Eagle XF 45. B-30. This obverse die was a real workhorse, being paired with seven different reverses in the hectic period of late 1798 when the mint reopened after a yellow fever epidemic. The B-30 is one of the scarcer varieties of the year and it is rarely seen above VF. In 1881 Haseltine called this variety "very rare." The surfaces show only the most trivial abrasions, and both sides are covered with a deep gray patina with a slight reddish undertone.
