- 1798 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. Heraldic Eagle. BB-105, B-23. Rarity-3. Pointed 9, Wide Date. AU-50 (PCGS).
An angelic Heraldic Eagle example with pearlescent surfaces bathed in delicate ivory and apricot hues. The high points show evidence of light handling, but the fields remain smooth and free from notable blemishes. Considerable satiny luster surrounds the design elements on each side and contributes to truly superior eye appeal at this grade level. BB-112 represents one of several 1798 varieties displaying noticeably widely spaced Pointed 9 obverse date format. This specific reverse also features stars arranged in curved arcs and a shield in which each major vertical stripe is comprised of the normal Four vertical lines. The BB-112 variety, along with the varieties BB-102, BB-103, BB-104 and BB-105 are the ones best filling the Pointed 9/Wide Date Redbook category. This piece is an exceptionally preserved example of these dies, falling just outside of the Condition Census which spans from Choice AU to Gem Mint State.
Provenance: From the Collection of Thaddeus A. Tatum III. Earlier ex Heritage's sale of February 2011, lot 4226.
PCGS# 6873. NGC ID: 24X6.
