<B>1799 $1 7x6 Stars AU53 PCGS.</B></I> <B>1799 S$1 7x6 Stars AU53 PCGS.</B></I> B-16a, BB-158, R.2. Die State III. On the left side stars 1 and 7 are far from the curl and L, while on the right stars 13 and 8 are close to the bust and Y, an easy mnemonic to remember this available variety. The 17 are closer than on any other variety of the year. Nonetheless, this coin is in a scarce die state, according to Bowers' silver dollar <I>Encyclopedia,</B></I> characterized by incuse "waves" above the date, clash marks in the left obverse field and right of stars 1 and 2, above the bust, and between the bust and star 13. On the reverse clashes from the lower drapery are noted through OF, with traces of the date visible at ES.<BR> Much beautiful luster cascades from the silver-gold surfaces, deepening to copper-gold at the rims on each side of this lovely coin. A couple of trivial obverse scrapes are the only noted distraction, which do little to diminish the enormous appeal.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Robert Scot<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>\)
