Scarce B. 6-H 1798 Half Eagle, AU 50

1798 Large Eagle AU 50 PCGS. Small 8. 13 Stars. B. 6-H. A scarce variety and the first example we can remember having handled in recent years. The distinctive feature of this variety is the arrangement of five reverse stars that point directly at the first T in STATES. The surfaces are bright with good portions of luster remaining and an even layer of light reddish patina over the basic green-gold color of the planchet. A trifle softly struck in the centers with good detailing elsewhere and showing no mentionable abrasions on either side.
