1798 Point 9 Wide Date (B-24, BB-124, R-2). SEGS VG-8. 1798 Point 9 Wide Date (B-24, BB-124, R-2). SEGS VG-8.
Lot Title: 1798 Point 9 Wide Date (B-24, BB-124, R-2). SEGS VG-8.
Description: Despite heavy wear and merging of some details with the fields, the three file marks seen right of the date remain clear, and the feature for which this die-marriage is most familiar -- the blundered stars stuck in the clouds -- can still be seen where the third cloud is stabbed by the star below. Thus, B-24 is quickly attributed, though attribution it is not indicated on the holder. SEGS has provided a grade of VG-8, but though this is a strictly original coin, a grade of G-4 seems more appropriate given the weak outline of Liberty's portrait. The reverse will always grade a half-grade or so higher than the obverse for this die-marriage.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

1798 Point 9, 4 Lines, Wide Date (B-22, BB-104, R.4). NGC VF-35.
Without the aid of magnification, no faults appear obvious on either side, with delicate peach-magenta toning responsible for an attractive and reasonably original appearance. No rim ticks can be...

1798 Point 9 Wide Date (B-23, BB-105, R.3). XF details/PVC/obverse...
8 in the date just touches the bust and rapidly narrows down attribution to Bolender's "wide date" variety B-23. Brash, bold details exhibited by this example are curiously stained in mossy green...

1798 Point 9 Wide Date (B-21, BB-107, R-4). XF/environmental damage.
The lump above the date instantly narrows attribution down to three possible die-marriages, and counting out ten arrowheads on eight shafts confirms B-21, a rather scarce R.5 die-marriage for 1798. ...
481The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$2,900.00
1798 Point 9 Wide Date (B-16, BB-110,R-6). ANACS AU details/cleaned.
Rarity of B-16 stems from the fact that the obverse die shattered early on, and most examples display breathtaking die crack structure around the left side of the date. This particular example, which...

1798 Point 9 Wide Date (B-24, BB-124, R-2). PCGS XF-45.
Though limited in area to just the obverse periphery, the luster that glitters from between the stars shines in a pleasing array of yellow-gold and sea-green colors, and related ocean-blue and indigo...

1798 Point 9 Wide Date (B-14, BB-122, R,3). PCGS VF-30.
The surface aberration at 12:00 of the obverse is no cause for alarm, as there is definitely no evidence of a repaired plug. It is merely a natural lamination that has discolored due to improper...
542The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$650.00
1798 Point 9 Wide Date (B-23, BB-105, R.3). VG-8, rim damage.
The "8" in the date touches the bust, which narrows attribution down considerably, and the position of star 7 and the five berries on the reverse branch confirm B-23 (BB-105), an R3 die marriage....

1798 Pointed 9 Wide Date (B-14, BB-122, R.3). VF.
Variation in color or surface texture at the 12:00 or 6:00 position on any bust dollar must lead to careful inspection to determine whether the coin has been plugged, but in this case, some natural...
