1799/8 B-3, BB-141 Rarity 3. PCGS graded AU-58. 15 Stars. A hint of light gold toning with lots of luster. Well struck. Lustrous surfaces are a must for this grade, and a coin which has grand overall eye appeal. The above-average strike complements this eye-appeal and, some might say, adds immeasurably to the appearance. Each star full, all of the hair strands sharp and complete; the eagle, beautifully rendered. If a buyer wishes to acquire just a single bust dollar in this value and grade range, then this lovely 1799 overdate should be the one chosen! Pop 2; 1 finer in 62 for the variety (PCGS # 40064) . Die diagnostics: 15 stars; this is definitive, although to the uninitiated the two extra stars are not readily seen, at least at first. The two supernumerary stars are nearly lost in cloud 1 and cloud 8, and just the points show. The one protruding from the bottom of cloud 1 is the most easily seen. The result is a blundered arc pattern of stars with five (instead of six) stars in the top row, six (instead of five) in the second row, and the usual one to each side of the eagle's head, plus the superfluous star points peeking out from the bottoms of clouds 1 and 8. Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000. Ex: Dr. Hesselgesser Collection. Categories:
