1798 B.12 (R-4). Pointed 9
|
EF |
$1,700.00
|
Extremely Fine. Here is a coin that appears wildly off-center, as the entire length of some denticles is seen at right obverse, whereas the denticles are all but missing on the left. The coin is actually spread to a wild 40.1mm along its horizontal axis. Surfaces are a charming silver-gray in tone, and a gentle undulation in the light reveals some hairlines on both sides. Lustre flow... more |

1798 B.13 (R-3). Pointed 9

CH AU |
$8,000.00
|
Choice About Uncirculated, and on the cusp of a full Mint State grade. The obverse is awash in beautiful jade, olive and deep gray toning, bathing decidedly lustrous surfaces. The reverse is much lighter in tone, with gold and peach joining light olive amidst frosty mint lustre. The strike is fairly strong for the issue, with some minor weakness noted at the dead center of each side... more |

1798 B.23 (R-3). Pointed 9
|
VF |
$1,000.00
|
Very Fine. Struck from the very late state of the dies (Bowers-Borckardt State III) with the topmost curl of Miss Liberty's hair wholly polished away from the die! The design motifs are otherwise very well defined, with just some of the usual weakness at the centers of both sides. The surfaces are light silver-gray in tone and exhibit light hairlines from a past cleaning, with attractive... more |

1798 B.27. Pointed 9. Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$8,000.00
|
Rose-gold centers framed by sea-green and blue toning about the rim. The strike is precise with most of the intricate details plainly visible. The coin has a very good overall appearance, and there are no major marks or rim problems to detract from the attractiveness of this early Silver Dollar. |

1799 B.9. Apostrophe 'S'
|
CH AU |
$5,500.00
|
Choice About Uncirculated. The richest silver lustre drenches both sides of this magnificent strike, the obverse showing Bolender's right-angle die cracks in the right field. The reverse is characterized by the apostrophe-like die break after the last 'S' in STATES, a slanting die crack through 'MERICA'. Two old scratches are noted at the upper chest. This striking specimen must number... more |

1799 Apostrophe 'S'. B.9
|
VF |
$1,000.00
|
Very Fine and boasting superb eye appeal for the grade. Surfaces are an icy silver-gray hue with pale lavender at the high points of the devices and lustre flow lines at the peripheries of both sides. Well centered and seemingly well struck for the remaining details. Here is a rather problem-free specimen of this interesting die variety featuring die crumbling next to the second 'S'... more |

1799 B.10b. Brilliant Uncirculated

BU |
$12,500.00

- or nearly so in appearance. A closer inspection reveals some moderate hairlines. Attractive multicolor toning over decently struck devices, legends and fields. There is still nearly full lustre remaining with some of it hidden by the toning. A mint-made rim imperfection is barely visible at 4:00 on the obverse. The coin still has a very good appearance despite the hairlines and should... more |

1799 B.11 (R-3). Dot Star 7 and 'L.'
|
CH EF |
$2,600.00
|
Choice Extremely Fine. First and last stars are far from curl and bust, and a small dot between Star 7 and the 'L' of LIBERTY, which the late Jules Reiver pointed out as distinguishing this obverse from a similar one used on five other 1799 obverses. Deep tan-gold and ebony toning adds to this coin's attractions. ICG EF45. |

1799 B.12 (R-3). Star 1 far from First Two Stars
|
CH F |
$1,000.00
|
Choice Fine. All major detail is quite bold, wear is without special problems and appropriate to this grade. Pale rose complements delicate gray that deepens at the well-defined outer rims. ICG F15. |

1800 B.5
|
CH EF |
$5,500.00
|
Choice Extremely Fine. Splendidly toned in rich copper, amber and pale lavender toning, this pretty example boasts abundant mint lustre at the edges of the devices, stars and lettering on both sides. Well struck, with the obverse a bit off-center to the right and the reverse a bit off-center to the lower left. Flashy, lightly prooflike surfaces are remarkably blemish-free, making this... more |

1800 B.15 (R-4)
|
EF |
$1,800.00
|
Extremely Fine, or nearly so. Well-centered and nearly perfectly framed by uniform denticulation on both sides, this specimen boasts abundant hair detail and a fully defined motto, E PLURIBUS UNUM. Central portions of both faces are a bright silver-gray, the effects of an ancient wiping, while the peripheries have retoned in russet-gold. Here is a pleasing mid-grade specimen of this... more |

1802 B.6
|
EF |
$3,500.00
|
Extremely Fine with dull gray toning on both sides. The strike is good, expecially so on the reverse where even the breast feathers are clealy visible. A decent type coin that shows all the intricate design that is supposed to be seen on these majestic Dollars. |
