<B>1799/8 $1 13 Stars Reverse AU55 PCGS.</B></I> B-1, BB-142, R.4. Die State III. This die state is described in the Bowers-Borckardt <I>Encyclopedia</B></I> as the most usually seen. It should, perhaps, be described as an earlier phase of Die State III, as the features that distinguish it from Die State II (like the die crack from the denticles to the left side of O, and on to the junction of clouds 6 and 7) are faint, but are discernible with the aid of a magnifier. This is a conditionally scarce example of the variety which is seen in an average grade of "VF-34", according to Bowers-Borckardt. Lightly toned, with specks of russet patina on both sides, where the predominant color is a pale bluish-gray. The piece is boldly struck with slight highpoint wear and scattered, superficial marks that include a vertical pinscratch from Liberty's cheekbone to the top of her head.<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>)
