1799 S$1 VF35 ANACS. B-5, BB-157, R.2. Die State I. This is the second use of this obverse die that was used in striking six different die marriages! This piece shows light "waves," actually die clash marks, at the top of the date. It is curious to note that Milferd H. Bolender referred to these clash marks as "suction marks" in his Silver Dollar book, first published in 1950. This specimen also shows what Bolender called a "pocket under the throat." This is also caused by the dies clashing, and was eventually lapped off the die, before striking the remaining four die marriages that share this obverse. This specimen is toned medium gray on both sides, with spots of darker toning in the devices.From the Michael Hering Collection.
