1798 $1 Large Eagle MS (PCGS#6873)

August 2023 Global Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

Losbeschreibung: 1798 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. Heraldic Eagle. BB-123, B-25. Rarity-4. Pointed 9, Close Date. AU-53 (PCGS). Really a lovely example, satin to softly frosted luster is very much in evidence on lightly toned surfaces. Generally silver-gray with a blush of champagne-apricot, splashes of reddish-russet and cobalt blue peripheral iridescence find their greatest expression along the upper left reverse. Sharply defined in most areas with a pleasingly smooth appearance in hand. Known as the "blundered stars" variety, the BB-123 die pairing gets its name from the misplaced stars in the reverse array that have been punched into the clouds above. Always a favorite among early dollar collectors, this attractive piece is surely deserving of serious consideration. BB Die State II-III, the obverse periphery just beginning to show cracks. Provenance: From the Legacy Collection. PCGS# 6873. NGC ID: 24X6. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
