1798 $1 Large Eagle MS (PCGS#6873)

August 2023 Global Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

Lot Description: 1798 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. Heraldic Eagle. BB-116, B-30. Rarity-5. Pointed 9, Close Date. AU-55 (PCGS). This inviting piece exhibits splashes of sea-green, golden-olive and russet peripheral iridescence to otherwise dominant antique silver patina. Much frosty luster remains to shine forth nicely as the surfaces rotate under a light. The bottom of Liberty's bust and the opposing clouds on the reverse are a bit softly impressed, but otherwise we note bold to sharp Choice AU detail in a Draped Bust, Heraldic Eagle dollar. One of the scarcer die marriages of the 1798-dated issue, BB-116 has an extant population of only 150 to 250 coins in all grades (per Q. David Bowers, 2013). BB Die State II. Provenance: From the Legacy Collection. PCGS# 6873. NGC ID: 24X6. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
