 1799 B.8b (R-3). 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 early unbroken state.
Ex Heritage Numismatic Auctions, June 1986, lot 959.
