<B>1799 $1 Irregular Date, 13 Stars Reverse AU53 PCGS. CAC.</B></I> B-15, BB-152, R.3. Die State II. This is among the earliest die states known for the pairing. Early dollar expert Milferd H. Bolender's own personal specimen was of this die state, marked by a hairline crack extending from the left of the date through stars 1-4 and to the rim above star 5. There is no crack from star 9 into the field above star 11. The Bowers-Borckardt reference records four die states, although the authors actually observed only States III and IV. The two earlier states were unknown through observation. <BR> This exceptionally eye-appealing example offers considerable ivory luster and wispy lilac-gold toning on each side. As always with the Blundered Stars Reverse, the central stars are weakly struck, but the coin overall provides much to recommend itself. Comes with previous sale envelope.<BR><I>Ex: Stack's (3/2006), lot 2825.</B></I> <BR><I>From The Queller Family Collection of Silver Dollars.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
