Lot #149 1799. Irregular date, 13 stars on reverse. B-15; BB-152

Description:

1799. Irregular date, 13 stars on reverse. B-15; BB-152. PCGS graded Fine-15. Nice even wear and lightly toned. A neat die pairing as the obverse die has the "Irregular Date" with the 9s not well aligned with each other. Furthermore the reverse die was used to produce 1798 silver dollars first, and carried over to 1799 and used here. The long stem end is the easy diagnostic to determine this, with a die crack extending down from the end of the stem to the edge of the coin below. Clean surfaces throughout and a scarcer die pairing. Pop 2 (PCGS # 40045) Estimated Value $1,500 - UP
