1799 $1 Irregular Date, 15 Stars Reverse, B-4, BB-153, R.4, VG10 PCGS. Bowers Die State II. B-4 is a scarce Guide Book variety. The blundered 15 stars reverse, with enlarged clouds nearly concealing two stars, is paired with the Irregular Date obverse. The engraver entered the first 9 as if the date should be curved, but added the second 9 in line with the first two digits. This battleship-gray example shows the several die cracks associated with B-4, and is pleasing for the VG10 level despite wispy marks near the arrows.
