Brilliant Uncirculated and a highly enticing example. The fields and devices offer a full measure of icy mint frost beneath a pale veil of golden and lilac-gray toning.

The quality of the specimen...  more 2412 1798 B.8. Pointed 9 in the date. Only 4 berries in the branch on the reverse AU $9,000.00 (the only such variety of this date). A strong, lustrous About Uncirculated or better example.

Smooth fields and assertive design features offer excellent balance in every respect. There is plenty of lustre adhering on either side, especially for a coin of this design type. The toning, however, exhibits a blend of jade-gold, aqua-blue, and lavender that is not convincingly original. 2417 1799 B.8 (R-3) CH VF $2,000.00 Choice Very Fine. Well struck for the variety with light toning. There very few contact marks which enhances the appeal of this coin. A reverse lamination in the middle cloud is this coin's main detraction.

No berries in the branch on the reverse CH AU $8,000.00 Choice About Uncirculated and approaching a full Mint State designation. There is just the slightest hint of friction at the most vulnerable locations on either side, otherwise the surfaces are unencumbered in even the slightest way.

Normal Date. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $19,000.00 - nearly warranting a Choice distinction. Well struck design features offer exceptional definition in the hair curls, peripheral legends, shield, scroll, clouds, and wing feathers.

Brilliant Uncirculated BU $10,000.00 An unusual blend of blue and rose toning over silvery highlights. The strike is excellent as most of the fine detail is clearly visible. The surfaces are mostly clean and mark-free. Here is a more than acceptable example of this early United States Silver Dollar. 2426 1802 B.6 CH AU $7,500.00 Choice About Uncirculated. A nice example of the wide, normal date variety of the year. Both sides were sharply struck. Liberty's hair strands are sharp and bold on the front and the eagle's wing feathers show nearly full detail. The fields are bold and clear and still have some reflectivity.
