<B>1798<S$1> Close Date. B-9, BB-121, R.3. AU55 NGC.</B></I> Tiny die chips close to hair below left side of E and R; Berry below left foot of final A. Reiver die state a. Bowers-Borckardt die state II. This is the Reiver plate coin for the obverse and reverse of this variety in his book. A lustrous and attractive coin that is bright silver with a pinkish hue over the devices. The surfaces show a few scattered handling marks, and we note a thin pin scratch from behind the eagle's head down into the right wing, and some edge nicks at the top of the reverse. The strike is adequate to bring up most of the details, but UNUM and the upper right shield point are soft. Although an early die state, the obverse die appears to have been lapped as the lower curl on Liberty is shallow and lacks the definition usually seen on early die state coins. Certainly in the Condition Census for this variety, and a tough die pairing to obtain in grades of XF or finer.<BR><I>Ex: Spies Collection (Stack's, 12/1974), lot 58.</B></I> Envelope Included.
