<B>1798 $1 Wide Date AU50 NGC. B-24, BB-124, R.2. </B></I> B-24, BB-124, R.2.<B> </B></I>Three die file lines right of the date; Line star pattern, star 12 touches upper beak, points to right edge of B. Reiver die state b. Bowers-Borckardt die state V. A very late die state for this variety, with several minor die cracks seen on the obverse near the date and last few stars. Toned a light gray color, with some darker flecks in the peripheral lettering and devices, and a touch of gold on the reverse. There are some central adjustment marks above the eagle which may account for the weakness of several reverse stars and a couple of the clouds near OF, although the die may have been lapped in this area. On balance this is a pleasing coin for the grade despite some hairlines which dulled the luster. This is a very late die state which adds greatly to the appeal for variety specialists.<BR><I>Ex: Jules Reiver Collection (Heritage, 1/2006), lot 23533.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Robert Scot<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
