1799 BB-163, B-10. Rarity-1. MS-60, whizzed. Silver gray with pale blue and golden highlights on apparently lustrous surfaces. The fields appear very faintly granular under higher magnifications, but under normal viewing this appears to be a very high-grade coin with no marks and even, if shallow, cartwheel lustre. The detail is exceptional, including Liberty's hair and the feathers on the eagle's breast, and the overall visual impact is that of a pleasing Mint State coin. Viewing this piece in hand will convince many collectors of its desirability despite the light whizzing.
