Mint State 1799 B-9 Silver Dollar
1799 $1 MS61 NGC. B-9, BB-166, R.1. This coin fooled us at first, for it is a scarce early die state. Known by specialists as the Apostrophe Variety, for the die crack from the border just after the final S of STATES into the field, and usually identified by this feature. This is Die State II in Dave Bowers' Silver Dollar Encyclopedia. Traces of the obverse crack below the 1 in the date, and traces of the reverse crack after S are only visible with magnification, or by those who have perfect eyesight. Full luster is visible beneath dusky dark brown color and darker steel toning. A tiny rim nick is visible on the obverse at 5 o'clock, but this only affects a portion of four dentils. This is a spectacular early dollar in full Mint State preservation, and among the finest known of this early die state.(#6878) (Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24X7, PCGS# 6878, GSID# 7163)
