1798 Silver Dollar. (Small Eagle, 13 Stars). BB-82, B-1a. Rarity 2. AU Details (NGC). One of the most iconic coins from the entire US series, this bust dollar, though improperly cleaned at some point, features the rare later reverse die state, with light die cracks present throughout the legend, the diagnostic for this state being the one through the top of ‘OF’ and the middle of ‘AMERIC.’ An exceptional piece for an early type set.
