Two Leaves Under Wings VG $2,300.00 Very Good. Surfaces are uniformly glossy from a light past cleaning but this coin is quite attractive nonetheless, with light silver gray toning joining even wear on both sides. A few minor rim bruises are noted on this coin that would make a beautiful addition to a circulated U.S. Type Set. Categories  •  Stack's May 2005 New York → United States Coins → U. S. Silver Dollars → U. S. Draped Bust, Small Eagle Reverse Silver Dollars Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 1014 1795 B.14. Off-Center Bust EF $6,500.00 Extremely Fine. This very bold strike and relatively brief circulating life result in outstandingly well defined bust and eagle. Deep brown-gold toning intensifies at the peripheries. The rich color conceals a few scattered marks and reverse scratches long since toned over. 1015 1797 B.1 (R-3). Obverse Stars 9 X 7, Large Letters AU $8,700.00 About Uncirculated. Much lustre surrounds this spectacular Dollar's boldly impressed devices and reliefs. A wealth of clear gold toning gives a deep glow to the smooth fields. Wear is absolutely minimal, while careful study under a glass will discover a couple of light field marks around the eagle that offer little significant visual distraction. 1016 1797 B.2 (R-4). Obverse Stars 9 X 7. Small Letters Reverse CH VF $7,000.00 Choice Very Fine. Here is the most perfect specimen of this scarce and avidly collected variety that one could wish for.

A few minor mint-made adjustment marks at the central obverse are noted for...  more Categories  •  Stack's May 2005 New York → United States Coins → U. S. Silver Dollars → U. S. Draped Bust, Large Eagle Reverse Silver Dollars Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 1017 1798 B.4 (R-4) EF $3,500.00 Extremely Fine. Medium gold and gray toning. The obverse is well struck but the reverse is weak in the center due to die failure. A small rim nick on the reverse is this coin's major detraction. The surfaces are smooth and present a great appearance. An appealing example that should garner strong collector interest. 1018 1798 B.11 (R-3) VF $2,900.00 A strong Very Fine with excellent detail for the grade. Pale gray toning over smooth and pleasing surfaces. A pair of tiny rim nicks do not detract that much from the overall appeal of this lovely coin. 1019 1798 B.14. (R-3) VF $2,000.00 Very Fine. A well balanced example that unfortunately has been gently cleaned. Pale gold and gray surfaces give this coin a decent appearance despite the cleaning. The strike is average with some weakness on the reverse. There are some light circulation marks visible but none too serious. Still a desirable example of this die variety. 1020 1798 B.15 (R-3). Wide Date CH VF $2,600.00 Choice Very Fine. Medium gray and ebony toning over pleasing surfaces. The strike is a bit mediocre and there is a tiny nick at the date. There are no other marks worth mentioning which means that this example is well worth a closer consideration. PCGS VF30. 1021 1798 B.21 (R-5) EF $2,900.00 Extremely Fine. The obverse has a wide date with a small die lump above it. The reverse shows the heraldic eagle holding ten arrows. Magnification reveals an extra ''stick'' amongst these arrows, the key diagnostic of this very scarce variety. Although somewhat weakly struck, all major details are plain. The surfaces are attractive and the color gives a strong eye appeal. The central...  more 1022 1798 B.23 (R-3) CH VF $2,700.00 Choice Very Fine. Deep golden toning with some lustre still present in the protected areas. A good strike along with no major detraction gives this coin great eye appeal. In fact this coin at first glance appears to be a full grade higher. PCGS VF30. 1023 1798 B.23 (R-3) VF $2,100.00 Very Fine. Medium gray toning with the higher points a lighter shade. A decent strike adds further to the appeal of this original coin. A tiny rim nick at 2:00 on the obverse is this coin's main detraction. A very well balanced example that has a very pleasing appearance. PCGS VF20. 1024 1798 B.23 (R-3) EF $1,400.00 Very Fine, with some claims to an Extremely Fine grade. Fields are silvery and exhibit the remnants of glowing silver mint frost, while the devices are well worn into a silver-gold hue on both sides. Some light friction in the fields is joined by some ancient scratches which remain generally well hidden at the central obverse. 1025 1798 B.24 AU $3,000.00 The details of a strong About Uncirculated coin but the surfaces exhibit the signs of a prior enhancement. Strong details except for four stars on the reverse which is common with this die variety. The surfaces are smooth with no major nicks or adjustment marks to detract from the appeal of this example. Struck on a slightly warped planchet which is not uncommon with these earlier issues. 1026 1798 B.24 AU $4,900.00 About Uncirculated in strict terms of actual circulation, boldly lustrous and well centered with the overall visual quality of a higher grade. A glass detects traces of graffiti in the right obverse field, the reverse shows major adjustment marks to the right over the eagle. 1027 1798 B.27 CH AU $5,100.00 Choice About Uncirculated. An unusual double profile distinguishes this obverse. Doubling is most apparent on Liberty's nose, lips and throat. Serene light rose and blue toning highlights this handsome coin's very forceful strike. A glass finds a few widely scattered marks, a couple on Liberty's neck. Here is a splendid coin for any type or variety collection. 1028 1798 B.31 (R-5) EF $3,000.00 Extremely Fine. A strong and precise obverse strike gives this coin nice appeal. The reverse is a bit weak due to the planchet being wavy and wearing unevenly. The color is a medium ebony and gray with some light areas on the high points. There are no major marks or adjustments made to this very lovely coin. 1029 1799/8 B.3 (R-3). 15 Star Reverse AU $6,500.00 About Uncirculated. A well struck example that exhibits some rose-gold toning with some deeper shades on the reverse. The surfaces are relatively smooth with mint lustre peeking out through the toning and in the protected areas. A well rounded example of this scarcer variety. PCGS AU50. 1030 1799/8 B.3 (R-3). 15 Star Reverse EF $3,700.00 Another. Extremely Fine and Choice for the grade. Well struck with even the high parts of the hair curl well separated. Deep blue and ebony toning over very smooth surfaces. A really appealing example that is conservatively graded PCGS EF40. 1031 1799 B.8 F to VF $1,900.00 Fine to Very Fine. Deep gray and ebony toning over nice surfaces for the grade. The strike is a bit uneven with the stars on the reverse showing weakness in the center. A reverse rim nick is this coin's main detraction. A decent example for the type collector. 1032 1799 B.12 (R-3) VF $1,400.00 Very Fine, or a trifle better. Shimmering silver-gray surfaces host touches of pale gold toning for a pleasing overall appearance. A glass reveals vestiges of lustre in the protected areas in addition to some minor bruising that blends well into the rims. A shallow scuff at the shield is noted for absolute completeness of description on this charming type coin. 1033 1799 B.16 EF $4,000.00 Extremely Fine. A wonderful coin that exhibits rose-gold and russet toning. The surfaces are quite pleasing and the strike is strong. There is some light reflectivity on the reverse that peeks out through the toning. Lustre is hidden in the devices which gives this coin nice eye appeal. PCGS EF40. 1034 1799 B.16 CH VF $1,200.00 Choice Very Fine and approaching Extremely Fine. The surfaces seem a bit too bright. The details are quite bold except for a small area of weakness at 'BER'. This variety has the '1' and '7' of the date closer together than any other variety of this year. A pleasing early Dollar. 1035 1799 B.17 VF $2,200.00 Very Fine. Deep ebony toning with some lighter shades on the high points. The strike is exceptional as all the major detail is quite plain. A very shallow pinscratch on the face is this coin's main detraction. Otherwise, this example is quite presentable. PCGS VF20. 1036 1800 B.10a (R-3) CH EF $4,100.00 Wide date, 8 low. Late reverse die state. Choice Extremely Fine and essentially ''perfect'' in every respect. The strike is wonderfully even, and the surface quality is outstanding. A handsome shade of medium gray is accented by champagne and lilac undertones on either side. An ideal coin for the collector who seeks high circulated grade early type material. 1037 1800 B.17 EF $2,900.00 Extremely Fine. Medium gray fields surround the problem-free central device which has a somewhat lighter texture. The stars, lettering and numerals are boldly distinct. The reverse is also quite attractive. A small reverse rim bruise at the upper left is hardly a distraction. ANACS EF40. 1038 1800 B.17 CH VF $2,600.00 Choice Very Fine. Medium violet-gray toning over well preserved surfaces. Well struck. The reverse exhibits a moderate amount of adjustment marks that appear at first glance to be scratches. Still the coin has a decent appearance and should be subject to a closer inspection. PCGS VF30. 1039 1801 B.3 (R-3) AU $3,000.00 The details of an About Uncirculated coin but the coin has been gently cleaned in the past. The reverse strike is quite bold while the obverse is a bit weak through the upper hair strands near the forehead. The color is a medium gray with some pale gold about the edge. A few scattered circulation marks but none that serious. This coin still has a decent appearance. 1040 1802/1 B.9 (R-6). Overdate SP to EF-45 $2,200.00 Choice Fine. Richly toned in deep lavender-gray, with areas of lighter rose-gold hues dancing in and around the legends and devices. Well struck and problem-free, this specimen will find a welcome home in the collection of an advanced variety collector. The B.9 is the rarest of the business strike 1802's, and is easily attributed by the small die lump in the field below the 'B' of LIBERTY....  more 1041 1803 B.6. Large 3 CH F $1,900.00 Choice Fine. Steel gray motifs rest pleasantly atop slightly deeper gray fields. All major details are strong and there are none of the adjustment marks that plague many early silver issues. The '1 8 0' are spaced wide and the '3' is lightly doubled and a touch low. There is a trivial rim bump at the tip of the bust that is mentioned for accuracy only. A wholesome specimen.
