Description
1800 VF 30. BB-186, B-4, R.4. The only use of this obverse die. Die State I, which is very rare, calls for perfect dies; Die State II, which is fairly common for the variety, shows obverse cracks by the date. The dies used to strike this coin were not perfect, but, in our opinion, the die state of this coin falls closer to State I than State II, since the die cracks are either non-existent or barely visible. In their 1975 ANA sale, Superior noted that only four examples were known with perfect dies. This attractive coin has traces of original mint luster and is actually nicer than the grade might indicate. For instance, what appears to be wear on the right side of the scroll and on the right wing is actually a weak strike, as confirmed by the plate coin in Q. David Bowers' recent opus, Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the United States.
