Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 2806 1795 Bolender 4 (R-3). Two Leaves Below Each Wing AU $20,000.00 About Uncirculated. This obverse die is easily recognized by the position of the fifteenth star relative to the truncation of Liberty's bust. There is no other obverse die of this date whereupon this last star is completely below the bust. Here is a very pleasing example of this classic Robert Scot design. It is a problem free specimen boasting beautiful deep lavender-gray toning with...  more 2807 1795 B.4 (R-3). Two Leaves Below Each Wing. Silver Plug VF $6,000.00 Very Fine. A strong coin which enjoys an excellent overall look. Close examination reveals some faint graffiti in the right obverse field as well as some inconspicuous ancient pinscratches near the central reverse. A nearly invisible pinscratch outlines portions of Liberty's profile. The silver plug is not visible on the obverse, but is clear on the reverse and forms a complete and large circle....  more 2808 1795 B.5. Three Leaves Below Each Wing CH VF $6,000.00 Choice Very Fine. The obverse with pale gray centers and ebony at the edge while the reverse is more an gray and black. The strike is a bit weak in the hair as is normal with this variety. The texture of the surfaces is good with just a few contact marks and a shallow reverse pinscratch as this coin's main detriments. Still a very desirable coin that should please most collectors. PCGS...  more 2809 1795 B.5. Three Leaves Below Each Wing VF $3,000.00 Very Fine. Cleaned at one time and still bright silver, but starting to retone with attractive dark gray and gold around the rims. Some minor rim filing is found on the upper left obverse. Smooth, even wear and free of other detractions. Always in demand by type collectors. Categories  •  Stack's March 2006 → U. S. Gold, Silver & Copper Coins → U. S. Silver Dollars → U. S. Draped Bust, Small Eagle Reverse Silver Dollars Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 2810 1795 B.14. Off-Center Bust EF $6,000.00 Extremely Fine. This handsome coin began its career with an exceptionally bold strike and remained in circulation only briefly. Both bust and small eagle are crisply defined and show only a trifling rub on the highest points. Distinctive brown-gold toning fills the fields, intensifying at the peripheries. This rich color disguises a few widely scattered marks and a couple of ancient,...  more 2811 1798 B.1 (R-3). 13 Star Obverse EF $6,250.00 Extremely Fine. Attractive surfaces show tawny red-gold at the peripheries, especially bold at the close-digit date. This reverse shows Die State B with advanced vertical die crack through second 'T' of STATES, a horizontal crack through 'S OF AMERI'. This coin is boldly detailed overall and shows trouble-free circulation that harmonizes with its exquisite toning and bold strike to create...  more Categories  •  Stack's March 2006 → U. S. Gold, Silver & Copper Coins → U. S. Silver Dollars → U. S. Draped Bust, Heraldic Eagle Reverse Silver Dollars Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 2812 1798 B.6b (R-3) EF $4,500.00 Extremely Fine. Wholesome steel gray surfaces show touches of golden toning at the highest points and some russet tones near the upper obverse rim. An amply struck coin with some frosty lustre remaining in the protected recesses of the devices. This variety is identifiable by the knob 9 at the obverse and the 5 vertical lines in the reverse stripes. This coin is from die state 'b' which...  more 2813 1798 B.27 EF $3,250.00 Extremely Fine. Attractively toned with splashes of golden-russet with teal highlights near the devices. Enough lustre survives to please the eye, and the surfaces are free of rim marks or adjustments. Although a common variety, the present coin is very pleasing for the grade. An intermediate die state with the die crack through the top of 'S OF A' and the wing tip. 2814 1799/8 B.1 (R-4) EF $1,700.00 Extremely Fine with respect to wear. Deeply toned and displaying a porosity streak through the lower obverse that was likely caused by a rubber band. Slightly porous on the reverse near the center. A sharp strike with all devices clear and full. The surfaces are clean and lack significant rim nicks or scratches that often mar these large coins. An intermediate die state with reverse...  more 2815 1799 B.5 CH EF $3,000.00 Choice Extremely Fine. A very pleasing example, the only defect worthy of mentioning is an edge bump near 9:00 on the reverse. Traces of lustre on the reverse and an average strike. Middle die state with the reverse crack through the legend. 2816 1799 B.6 (R-4) VF $1,400.00 Very Fine. This example has a small die crack running from the denticals up to the '1'. Some faint hairlines can be found with magnification, but these do not distract. The overall appearance is quite wholesome and the color is a pleasing steel gray. ACG VF35. 2817 1799 B.6 (R-4) F to VF $1,100.00 Fine to Very Fine in terms of wear. Glossy, light silver-gray surfaces dominate, the result of an ancient cleaning on both sides. The peripheries have begun to tone quite attractively, with light rose, blue, emerald and gold hues hugging the rims on both sides. Here is a very acceptable survivor of this scarce die variety. 2818 1799 B.8b (R-3) AU $5,000.00 About Uncirculated. A rather vibrant coin, however there is evidence of a very light past cleaning. Some striking weakness is found over the eagle's head in the star field, typical of this later die state. Die rust is found on the obverse near the first couple of stars, and die cracks are seen through LIBERTY and the reverse legends and devices. This later die state is scarcer than the...  more 2819 1799 B.9a VF $1,400.00 Very Fine. A strong, honest example of this common variety. The surfaces are toned light steel gray with darker hues in the fields. Reasonably sharp although a few stars above the right side of the eagle are weakly impressed, caused by the die state. No surface problems are present, making this a decent coin for the grade. 2820 1799 B.10b CH EF $3,000.00 Choice Extremely Fine. A single minor edge defect is noted at the top of the obverse above the E and on the reverse there is a trivial dull scrape at the center of the eagle's tail. Toned medium gray throughout and attractive. This later die state is delight to study, the obverse has a faint die crack through the last four stars, the reverse is shattered with a die crack arcing up through...  more 2821 1799 B.10b VF $1,400.00 Very Fine. A few light marks are noted on Liberty's neck and chest, and on the reverse a single deep nick hides on a star above and right of the eagle's head. Beautiful and colorful toning on both sides. Later die state of the reverse, with multiple complex cracks and drawn lettering. Here is a wonderful coin for the collector who appreciates these later die states. 2822 1799 B.10b VF $1,450.00 Very Fine or a trifle better. Lilac gray fields are accentuated by slightly paler design motifs. A touch of rainbow toning can be found near the peripheries with careful scrutiny. There are a few old toned over pinscratches in the fields but these are very disturbing to the overall eye appeal. Struck from a later die state with several cracks at the reverse. ANACS EF details Net VF20. 2823 1799 B.12b (R-3) CH VF $1,700.00 Choice Very Fine. A wonderfully smooth, evenly struck coin. Likely ever so gently cleaned very long ago, not at all to its detriment. Darkly toned with gray dominating with a blush of lilac in the fields. No surface problems from contact, and the rims are excellent. This later die state has complex die cracks up through the date, and die sinking from star nine to close to Liberty's bust...  more 2824 1799 B.14 (R-3) EF $1,900.00 A sharp Very Fine, approaching Extremely Fine. Lightly cleaned long ago and starting to retone on the periphery with rainbow tones of blue, gold and yellow. Slightly dull on the reverse, and a bit streaky. The surfaces are otherwise attractive and show minimal distractions. 2825 1799 B.15 (R-3). Irregular date, Reverse of 1798 CH AU $8,500.00 Choice About Uncirculated. A lustrous and pleasing coin that boasts rich teal and rose colors over both sides. There is a minor planchet defect on the obverse rim near 8 o'clock that is also seen on the reverse rim. For die variety collectors, this is the only 1799 obverse die which was paired with a still usable reverse die from 1798. The end of the branch has a die crack which extends...  more 2826 1799 B.15 (R-3). Irregular date, Reverse of 1798 AU $5,400.00 About Uncirculated. An entirely original example with bold hair definition on the obverse, but striking weakness is found in the star field on the reverse, opposite of Liberty's bust. A minor edge void resides under Liberty's bust tip, and this is the only flaw worthy of mention. No adjustment marks distract, and the coin has a pleasing appearance. 2827 1799 B.16a AB EF $1,800.00 About Extremely Fine with respect to wear, but lightly cleaned long ago. There are some dull scratches on Liberty's bust and the coin remains bright silver, with peripheral toning starting to form. Nearly the later ''b'' die state, with several of the obverse die cracks present. 2828 1799 B.23 (R-4). 8 X 5 Stars EF $3,500.00 Extremely Fine. An enticing, solid specimen for the collector that is toned dark gray with hints of gun metal blue. Traces of lustre are found in the protected areas. The strike is sharp and no surface problems are apparent. For identification purposes, there are a minor short scratch on Liberty's cheek hidden below her eye as well as faint surface hairlines. Later die state with sinking...  more 2829 1799 B.23 (R-4). 8 X 5 Stars AB EF $2,800.00 About Extremely Fine. Traces of lustre in the devices, and excellent color to please the eye. The central reverse is just a bit rougher than the norm from circulation. One tiny edge tick is found above the post of the 'E' of LIBERTY. Sharply impressed by the dies, and an early die state for this pairing. Always popular with collectors for the unique star arrangement on the obverse, most...  more 2830 1800 B.3. (R-5) VF $1,100.00 Detail of a strong Very Fine or better, but some inconspicuous graffiti and tooling are found on the obverse. Tooling scratches exist in the fields, and the coin has been retoned with dark gray to cover portions of this work. During the past few decades, enough of these have been discovered to reduce this variety to the R-5 level. The reverse is darkly toned as well, and appears to have...  more 2831 1800 B.10a (R-3) AU $4,000.00 About Uncirculated. This coin has lovely toning which is light silver with blue and gold splashes near the devices. Lustre in the protected areas. There is a rim bruise below the 18 for identification. Middle die state with several minor cracks and die clashing seen on the reverse. 2832 1800 B.10a (R-3) CH EF $5,250.00 Choice Extremely Fine with claims to a higher grade. The surfaces are attractively toned with colorful blues and russets primarily near the rims. A decent strike on the devices and the surfaces are free of adjustment marks, bumps or significant marks. Identifiable by a shallow pit on Liberty's jaw, close to her ear. Middle die state with reverse die cracks and clashing. 2833 1800 B.11 (R-5). AMERICAI. CH VF $2,000.00 Choice Very Fine. Two or three rim marks on the right side of the reverse hardly warrant mention. Light silver-gray with darker peripheral gray mixed with colorful accents around the rims. Well struck and attractive for the collector. This die pairing is much scarcer than the B-19 variety which uses this same reverse die. 2834 1800 B.13a (R-4) EF $1,000.00 A strong Very Fine approaching Extremely Fine in terms of wear, but cleaned and with a few obverse surface scratches and a touch of porosity. Starting to retone around the periphery and sporting a decent naked eye appearance. This later die state was formerly considered a separate die variety (B.18) but subsequent research showed it to be only a heavily clashed die state of the B.13...  more 2835 1800 B.14 (R-3). Dotted Date VF $1,100.00 Very Fine. Cleaned long ago but starting to retone around the periphery in glorious gold, blue and rose tones. Strike is good and a bit of lustre hugs the rims and legends. A couple of rim nicks are found on the reverse at 4:00 and 10:00. Page 1 of 7  •  First  Previous  Next  Last  • Goto Page
