Description

NGC 1798 Large Eagle MS 61. B-25b, R.4. The Robertson specimen is listed as the finest known in the Bowers and Borckhardt dollar books. It is noted as being only moderately available and "...nearly all are in lower grades through EF. AU coins are very rare."
Formerly sold as lot 716 of the J. Douglas Robertson Collection (Mid-American, 9/89). We cannot improve upon or add anything significant to that description, and so we repeat it here: "Struck very slightly out of collar resulting in little or no denticulation at the lower obverse and the corresponding reverse. A marvelous coin with more luster than on any example of this date that we have seen in years. (Most 1798 dollars are dull). This luster is especially strong on the obverse and it is enhanced by lovely natural toning at the borders from storage in an old album. Both sides are sharp, especially when one considers the state of the dies used to strike this sub-variety. An exciting coin for the specialist or the date collector. All of the cracks as described by Bolender are visible."
