Lot 1651
1798. Large eagle. B-9, BB-121. Rarity 5. Sharpness of VF-35. Cleaned and retoned. We note some faint adjustment marks in the center on the reverse. 1798 BB-121 has an estimated population of 300 to 500 pieces, according to the Bowers encyclopedia, enough that the specialist can find one with some searching, and probably will find it at "type" price. Most specimens of BB-121 are seen in lower grade levels. The variety becomes a rarity in AU grade and may be unknown in full Mint State, if today's strict grading interpretations are used.
Estimated Value $700 - 800.
