<B>1798 $1 Large Eagle AU58 NGC.</B></I> B-27, BB-113, R.2. The 8 in the date is struck much too high and leaning to the right at the top. The highest wave of hair is incomplete, and a tiny die chip is visible near an inside point of star 12. This die marriage normally displays a reverse die crack from S OF through the right wing tip and the last A in AMERICA, according to Bowers-Borckardt, but this piece shows no trace of such a crack. The only lapping on the obverse is on the top hair curl, and this specimen accordingly represents an early state of both dies. Mottled steel-gray and russet-gold patina occurs on each side, and much mint luster is present, along with a few trivial contact marks.<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>)
