1798 S$1 Large Eagle XF45 PCGS. B-27, BB-113, R.2. Lat
<B>1798 S$1 Large Eagle XF45 PCGS.</B></I> B-27, BB-113, R.2. Late Die State. The 8 in the date is much too high and out of position, tilted too far to the right compared to the other digits. The obverse appears to be from a late die state. The top curl is incomplete, as always seen, and the diagnostic lump shows near star 11. But there is no trace of a crack through the 9 in the date leading upward to the bust, apparently from lapping. A crack <I>does</B></I> run from beneath the left side of the 9 toward star 1, crossing the two inner points and into the field behind the curls. The reverse is past Bowers-Borckardt Die State III, with a crack through the arrowhead to STA--but another die crack branches off of that crack to the right of F, downward to cloud 8. Another crack, also unrecorded in Bowers-Borckardt, runs from the right side of the tail feathers through ERICA.<BR> This piece has much to offer, besides the unusual and possibly unrecorded late die states on each side. Light olive-gold color fails to dim the luster clinging to each side, and there are no mentionable impairments aside from the light wear. The reverse strike was slightly off-center, so that the reverse dentilation is missing from about 1:30 to 6 o'clock. An interesting piece for the early dollar specialist.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
