1798 "B-23" Large Eagle. PCGS XF-45. 1798 "B-23" Large Eagle. PCGS XF-45.
Lot Title: 1798 "B-23" Large Eagle. PCGS XF-45.
Description: Remnants of mint luster adhere to the devices and letters, and even flow partially into the fields on the reverse, supporting the PCGS XF-45 grade assessment. Although little contrast between the fields and devices is noted, the details nonetheless stand out boldly to inspection. As per the attribution, the "8" in the date is literally attached to Liberty's bust, and there are five small berries, the upper two closest together. An adequately original coin with modest eye appeal.
Low Estimate: $4,400.00
