Early Dollars
1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9, Close Date, B-27, BB-113, R.2, VF30 NGC. Lightly luminous, silver-gray toning with golden overtones cover smooth, unabraded surfaces. A couple of pinpricks are seen under Liberty's chin. Moderate wear is most noticeable on the upper hair strands and the draping over Liberty's bust, which is smoothly worn. This is the Pointed 9, Heraldic Eagle design from a common die pairing, featuring the date close and the 8 much too high. The reverse shows a couple of small rim bumps and scrapes near the eagle's tail, but overall it is a pleasing mid-grade example.
