Description
NGC 1798 Small Eagle XF 45. 15 Stars. B-2. Here is one of the most interesting and desirable of all early dollars. The Small Eagle reverse was used in only two die pairings in 1798. That in itself makes this an important and highly collectible type coin, but additionally the 15 star obverse is unique to the B-2 variety, all the other 1798 die pairings have 13 star obverses. While far from condition census, this piece is, nevertheless, a high grade example that shows all major (and most minor) design elements and is well defined in most areas except on the eagle's breast (as usual). Toned an even, medium gray over both sides, there is a significant underlying blue and rose patina, most noticeable around the devices. A clean coin for the grade with no major or distracting marks.
