1798. Large Eagle Point 9 10 Arrows. B-21, BB-107. Rarity 5. NGC graded EF-40. Light grey toning. A choice Extremely Fine example whose surface condition points to even wear and years of unimpaired ownership by several generations of coin collectors. Adequately struck with nearly full details on both sides, only some central hair curls weak below Libertys earlobe and the portion of the reverse defined by the overlap of the ribbon and the eagles neck. Definitely worth of a US 18th Century Type Set. Pop 3; 6 finer for the variety, 2 in 45, 2 in 55, 1 in 58, 1 in 61. Die Note: Only 10 arrows plus a stick (headless arrow) between the 2nd and 3rd shafts from the right. Five small berries, two top ones closest together. Point of leaf under left lower tip of I in AMERICA. Star distant from eagle's beak. Arc star pattern. Die crack along right wing tip, top of AM to border above E. In the later state of this reverse (used to coin 1798 BB-108), this reverse die was relapped, and just 10 arrows are visible, but no headless stick. 1798 BB-107 was struck before 1798 BB-108. Estimated Value $3,800 - 4,000 Categories: Draped Bust Dollars
