Lot 0006 1798 Bust $1. Heraldic Eagle, Close Date PCGS
A very pleasing example of this, the first year in the bust dollar design that incorporates a large or "heraldic" eagle motif for the revere. As the grading holder states, this piece lies at the high end of Extremely Fine quality. And it shows in the sharp hair curls, the sharp stars (though not entirely sharp), and the crisp delineation of the various parts of the shield and eagle on the reverse. The color is light silver-gray with no tarnish or spotting, plus no heavy indentations in the rims that so often plague this issue. All in all a very presentable specimen of the draped bust, heraldic eagle Type.
