Description

NGC 1799 XF 40. B-12. A common variety of the year, the B-12 is one of only two varieties that have no berries in the branch on the reverse. As such, it has in the past been of some interest to collectors who do not otherwise collect dollars by variety. The fields of this coin are unusually bright, suggesting that perhaps when struck the piece was prooflike. With 20 points of wear, this effect is greatly diminished, however, it does provide an underlying brightness for the golden-rose and gray-lilac toning seen over both sides. Minimally abraded. The reverse was struck off center with much of the top of that side showing very little of the denticles and the bottom having very long ones.
