1798 $1 Large Eagle MS (PCGS#6873)

June 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: 1798 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. Heraldic Eagle. BB-96, B-6. Rarity-3. Knob 9, 10 Arrows, 5 Vertical Lines. VF-30 (NGC). A generally bold Choice VF example to represent the Knob 9, 10 Arrows Guide Bookvariety of the 1798 Heraldic Eagle dollar. The obverse is evenly toned in warm copper-gray, the reverse with deeper steely-charcoal patina that yields to brilliance in the star field. That same area shows the only mentionable lack of detail, the balance of the design suitably bold for the assigned grade. A median rarity among die marriages of this issue, Q. David Bowers (2013) provides an estimate of 500 to 800 coins extant in all grades for the BB-96 pairing. BB Die State IV. PCGS# 6873. NGC ID: 24X6. Click here for certification details from NGC.
