<B>1798 $5 Large Eagle, Large 8, 13 Star Reverse--Cleaned--ANACS. AU58 Details.</B></I> Large Eagle, Large 8, Breen-6428, BD-4, High R.4. Although there are eight known 1798 varieties, it is a difficult date to acquire, since all die marriages are very scarce to very rare. BD-4 is interesting for its die lumps on the upper reverse, most prominent at 12 and 1 o'clock. A faintly hairlined example with undipped honey-gold surfaces. The strike is slightly soft at the centers, but the remainder of the design is bold.<BR><I>Ex: Harry Einstein Collection, (Bowers and Merena, 6/86), lot 324; ANA Centennial Auction (Bowers and Merena, 8/91), lot 538.</B></I><BR><I>From The John Stimson, Sr. Collection, Part Two.</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>)
