Description
NGC 1799/8 MS 62. 15 Star Reverse. B-3. A double engraving error: the second 9 in the date was punched over a previous 8 on the obverse, and on the reverse 15 stars were punched into the upper field rather than the standard 13. Interestingly, to correct the mispunching blunder on the stars, the engraver hand tooled the outermost clouds to cover the offending stars. However, the two innermost points of each remain. The striking details are boldly brought up on this impressive coin with strong definition on the hair curls and even a bit of feather definition on the eagle's breast. Lightly marked in the right obverse field, the surfaces are fully lustrous, and while showing much underlying luster, they are mostly toned a mottled blue and smoky-violet. An exceptional Bust dollar and easily one of the finest known of the variety. Population: 1 in 62, 5 finer.
