<B>1798 $1 Large Eagle--Improperly Cleaned--NCS. AU Details.</B></I> B-21, BB-107, R.5. Die State II. This is the usual die state for B-21, perhaps the only existing die state. The obverse has a small die chip between the 9 and the drapery, with a short crack extending toward the 7. The reverse is cracked from the right wing tip to the tops of AM and the border.<BR> Although cleaned and retoned with dark iridescence on the obverse and lighter gold on the reverse, the surfaces retain considerable luster. Slight weakness of the strike is evident on the centers, with the balance boldly defined. Virtually Mint State sharpness with only a trace of highpoint wear. Stack's described this coin in their catalog as:<BR> "1798 B.13 (R-3). Pointed 9. Choice About Uncirculated, and on the cusp of a full Mint State grade. The obverse is awash in beautiful jade, olive and deep gray toning, bathing decidedly lustrous surfaces. The reverse is much lighter in tone, with gold and peach joining light olive amidst frosty mint luster. The strike is fairly strong for the issue, with some minor weakness noted at the dead center of each side as well as at Miss Liberty's ribbon tie. Here is an overall very attractive specimen of this variety that would make a fine addition to a date or variety set of Silver Dollars."<BR><I>Ex: Stack's (5/2006), lot 1840.</B></I><BR><I>From The Queller Family Collection of Silver Dollars.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
