Early Dollars
1799/8 $1 13 Stars Reverse, B-1, BB-142, R.4, VF25 NGC. Bowers Die State III. Advanced die crumbling near the I in AMERICA confirms the late die state of this popular overdate early dollar. Light reddish-gold and lilac-gray toning graces both sides of this VF example, which retains a surprising amount of mint luster for the assigned grade. A few small marks join a somewhat soft strike on the central motifs, yet the peripheries are bold.
