 1798 B.6 (R-3). Knob 9 in the date. Only 10 arrows in the eagle's talon on the reverse. 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 legends, denticulation, and wing feathers are all quite sharp, and there is only a limited degree of striking weakness near the centers on either side. The quality of the specimen offered here certainly deserves to be noted by potential bidders, as it is highly unlikely that more than a few Mint State examples have managed to survive of this die variety. We therefore have no reservation placing the currently offered coin well within the condition census for this variety!
