1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9, Wide Date, B-22, BB-104, R.4, VF30 NGC. Bowers Die State IV. Sharp, complete dentils show no adjustment marks at either periphery, and neither do the central devices. This high-end VF coin displays exceptional steel-gray color and smooth, problem-free surfaces. The strike is a trifle soft on the central high points, although wear is very light. Close study of the reverse shows a few mint-made, wire-shaped strike-throughs, primarily above the eagle's head amid the stars.
