1798 Bust $1. Heraldic Eagle, Close Date PCGS EF45
A very pleasing example of this, the first year in the bust dollar design that incorporates a large or "Heraldic" eagle motif for the revere. As the grading holder states, this piece lies at the high end of Extremely Fine designation. Sharp hair curls, crisp stars (though not entirely sharp), and well-defined delineation of the various parts of the shield and eagle on the reverse. The color is light silver-grey with no tarnish or spotting, no heavy indentations in the rims that so often plague this issue. Bids $3800 but probably worth more.
