1798 S$1 Large Eagle XF40 ANACS. B-31, BB-115. Die State IV. This is one of the scarcer die marriages of the 1798 Large Eagle Dollar with Bowers' 1993 estimate on the number of coins extant not exceeding 300 pieces. Interestingly, this die marriage was unknown to Haseltine when he wrote his Type-Table in 1881. The advanced die cracks on both the obverse and the reverse are perhaps the most readily identifiable diagnostics of the present representative. The surfaces are richly toned in antique-copper shades that deepen to charcoal outlines around many of the devices. The otherwise suitably bold definition wanes a little over the upper right reverse--a feature that the plate coin in Bowers' Encyclopedia also exhibits. A few moderate abrasions over and before Liberty's bust are noted, and there is a planchet flaw (as produced) on the reverse rim outside the CA in AMERICA. An important bidding opportunity for the early Dollar variety specialist. Important notice: We expect to be auctioning lots at the rate of 200-250 per hour.
