1798 S$1 Large Eagle AU53 PCGS. B-11, BB-111. High R-3. This variety is considered a high R.3, and is very popular with die variety specialists because of the two large die breaks that develop on the obverse die. This is difficult to know when viewing this specimen as it is struck from a very early state of the dies, with the die beginning to mound between Liberty's chin and the last star. The break can also be seen forming in the left upper half of the hair. Most would consider this to be Bowers Die State II-III. Those who are lucky enough to own a copy of the Bowers Silver Dollar book can note the contrast between this specimen and the very late die state illustrated by the plate coin on page 297. This coin displays light silver and gray toning on both sides, with slight surface roughness noted on part of the obverse. A planchet flaw (as struck) is noted from the rim through the R in LIBERTY and into the field in front of Liberty's hair, forehead, and nose. There is a light scratch on Liberty's neck, and another in the field under the chin. No disturbances are noted on the rims.From the Albany Collection.
