Bolender 27 (BB-113) is a common variety that is readily available in the marketplace.  High grade examples are becoming more and more expensive, but can still be found with relative ease.  Mint State examples are very rare and collectors prize themn highly.  The Condition Census consists almost entirely of Mint State examples, some of which are only low-end Uncs.  The very best example is the PCGS MS65 formerly in the Norweb Collection (sold in 1988 for $33,000.  Another stellar BB-113 is the high-end Unc. from the Garrett Collection -- a Gem that sold for $65,000 all the way back in 1980!


Q. David Bowers

The following narrative, with minor editing, is from my "Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia" (Wolfeboro, NH: Bowers and Merena Galleries, Inc., 1993). Note: the Notable Specimens list should be used with caution - it has been updated in my 2013 edition of "The Encyclopedia of United States Silver Dollars 1794-1804."

B-27. H-27.

OBVERSE 13: Close date, about 9.5 mm. at widest part. The 8 much too high, and out of position, top leaning to right. Identifiable by the presence of a tiny horizontal obverse die flaw at the inner point of star 12 (visible only on higher grade specimens); tinier similar flaw at star 1 L Highest wave of hair incomplete, probably from a lapped die (although I have never seen an impression from an earlier, unlapped state). This same obverse die was used for numerous other varieties.

Obverse die used to strike BB-113 (1st use), 1798 BB-114 (2nd use), BB-115 (3rd use), BB-116 (4th use), BB-117 (5th use), BB-118 (6th use), BB-119 (7th and final use).

REVERSE K: See description under 1798 BB-110. In this combination, a light die crack extends above S, through tops of OF, right wing tip, to border above first A in AMERICA.

Reverse die used to strike 1798 BB-110 (1st use), BB-111 (2nd use), BB-112 (3rd use), and BB-113 (4th and final use). See discussion of die states under 1798 BB-110.

DIE STATES:

Die State I: Obverse: Perfect die, not relapped. Reverse: Perfect die. May not exist.

Die State II: Obverse: With a faint crack from denticles toward center of 9 to bust. Reverse: With it light die crack above S, through tops of OF, right wing tip, to-border above first A in AMERICA. Cf. Norweb: 3756. The die state usually seen.

Die State III: Obverse: With a faint crack from denticles toward center of 9 to bust. Reverse dies as II, but now with additional cracks from arrowhead through the wing to STA. The Spies Collection (Stack's, 1974) had a VF example.

COLLECTING NOTES: The 1798 BB-113 is of medium availability, I estimate that 500 to 800 exist. This is one variety of 1798 for which numerous AU and Mint State coins are known, the latter grading up through and including MS-65.
