Description

1799 XF 45. Small Stars. B. 3-E. On this variety the final 9 is large and double-cut. Well struck for the grade with rich reddish-orange color in the fields and also covering the highest portions of the devices, this is a well balanced coin from side to side. The fields show considerable remnants of an original prooflike surface, created by polishing the dies, the evidence of which still show in the form of die striations in the fields. Unfortunately, there are innumerable tiny pecks in the fields on each side that break up the uniform sheen of the prooflike finish.There is also a rim bump at 12 o'clock on the reverse. Still, a handsome coin and one that will surely be of interest to many type collectors.
