Lot Description

BB Die State II. Generally pearl-gray surfaces exhibit warm olive-gold highlights that are a bit more pronounced on the obverse. That side of the coin is well centered in strike with universally bold to sharp detail remaining. The reverse is likewise well detailed in the absence of all but light wear, although it is struck off center to 4 o'clock with thin denticulation along the lower right border, unusually broad denticulation at upper left. Smooth and inviting with no mentionable blemishes apart from a thin, vertical strike through (as made) in the obverse field above Liberty's head. A scarce die pairing of the 1798 Heraldic Eagle Bust dollar issue, most of our offerings for BB-107 have been in EF or lower grades, further confirming the conditionally rare nature of the present example.
