Early Dollars
1798 $1 Large Eagle, Knob 9, 5 Vertical Lines, 10 Arrows, B-6, BB-96, R.3, XF45 PCGS. CAC. Bowers Die State III, showing die cracks near 7 o'clock on the obverse rim and lapping on the highest hair curl. The cracks on the reverse of State IV are not yet fully formed. This Choice XF PCGS-CAC coin is one of eight Guide Book varieties listed for the date, although the guide shows little price differentiation among them below AU50. The surfaces are largely unabraded and well-struck, with rose and silver-gray patina occasionally veering into deeper slate-gray. High-end for the grade, as CAC notes.
