Early Dollars
1799 $1 7x6 Stars, B-17, BB-164, R.2 -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. AU. Bowers Die State III. A die crack runs through UNITED ST. This reverse is unique to variety BB-164, clearly identifiable by the presence of two die lines below star 2 on the reverse that form an equals sign. Examples are typically available in XF or lower grades, while AU coins are far more elusive than the rarity rating suggests. Bright silver surfaces are moderately hairlined from an old cleaning, but they do not detract from the impressive strike detail that remains on each side. A collectible 18th century dollar for type purposes.
