<B>1798 $1 Small Eagle, 13 Stars XF45 NGC.</B></I> B-1, BB-82, R.3. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III. Obverse die relapped, leaving the uppermost and lowest hair curls incomplete. A thick die crack descends from the upper reverse rim through the second T in STATES, through the branch below and to the top edge of the eagle's left (facing) wing. The design elements are well centered and generally well struck, although the eagle seems somewhat flat, as always. The piece shows moderate, even wear for the grade, and a coating of deep mauve-gray patina over both sides. Surface blemishes consist almost entirely of a few small, circular marks that appear at a handful of locations near the periphery. The only variety of 1798 dollar with 13 obverse stars combined with the Small Eagle reverse, and an important issue therefore for any collector assembling a type set of American coinage. NGC Census: 26 in 45, 21 finer (6/07). <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>)
