<B>1799 $1 7x6 Stars AU58 PCGS.</B></I> B-10, BB-163, R.2. Obverse Die State II, Reverse Die State I. A die lump in the drapery above the first 9 in the date, and the farthest arrow point under the right upright of N in UNITED confirms the variety. The AU58 example offered here possibly represents an unreported die state; an obverse crack connects stars 11 through 13 (Die State II), the reverse is perfect (Die State I). The die state combination does not appear in the 1993 Bowers-Borckardt classification. The die state is earlier than Reiver's a, which has the reverse crack through the right (facing) wingtip. The present piece is the only "perfect reverse" example known.<BR> Attractive golden-gray surfaces display a good amount of luster, and are remarkably clean for a large silver dollar that has seen some circulation. The design elements are well centered on the planchet, and exhibit sharp definition. The dentilation is relatively strong on both sides. A truly pleasing coin that is sure to elicit spirited bidding among early silver dollar aficionados.<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>)
