Early Dollars
1798 $1 Small Eagle, 13 Stars, B-1, BB-82, R.3, VF30 PCGS. Bowers Die State III. There are 34 confirmed die marriages of 1798 dollars, and only two (B-1 and B-2) exhibit a Small Eagle instead of its Heraldic Eagle successor. Since B-1 and B-2 have different star counts, each receives a separate listing in the Guide Book. The present midgrade representative has a few unobtrusive adjustment marks on the eagle's right (facing) wing, but post-strike contact is minimal, limited to four small ticks east of Liberty's ear. The cream-gray surfaces are undeniably pleasing.
