Description
1799 B-7, BB-156 Dollar, MS62
7x6 Stars, Scarce Terminal Die State
One of Two Known in Mint State
1799 $1 7x6 Stars, B-7, BB-156, R.4, MS62 PCGS. Bowers Die
State III, with extensive reverse cracks. Dave Bowers calls this
terminal die state much scarcer than Die State II in his 1993
Silver Dollar Encyclopedia. A massive die bulge northeast of
the eagle's head results in a near-complete loss of detail in that
area, but the rest of this Uncirculated Draped Bust dollar is
well-defined, especially around the borders. On the obverse, only
Liberty's middle curls are soft. Silver-gray patina overall yields
to splashes of violet and antique golden hues. The BB-156 variety
is typically seen only in XF and lower grades. About Uncirculated
examples are rare, and Mint State pieces are major rarities. This
is the only BB-156 coin in Mint State attributed for die variety by
PCGS, and it is tied with the MS62 R.L. Miles-Numisma '95 specimen
listed on the Bowers census.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24X7, Variety PCGS# 40048, Base PCGS# 6878, Greysheet# 199145)
