1798/7 JR-2 (R-6). 13 Star Reverse. Large '8'. Choice Fine. The boldest 1798/7 overdate and large '8' in the date join 13 stars to make this obverse distinctive. This reverse presents 13 stars above the eagle's head. Deep silver-gray circles the peripheries on both sides, with the centers showing lighter silver with some tantalizing traces of iridescent blue and rose.
Ex L.H. Gardner Collection from the Buffalo & Erie County Historical Society (Stack's, March 2005, lot 475).
