Lot Description

BB Die State IV. This variety is popular with early dollar specialists as the only one of the 1799-dated issue to employ a reverse die used in 1798. Furthermore, the obverse has the irregular 99 in the date with the first 9 high and leaning to the left at the top. The present example is pleasingly toned in dominant pearl gray, the obverse periphery with olive-russet and multicolored iridescence around the periphery.
