Lot 634
1800 B-17, BB-196. Rarity 1 12 arrows. PCGS graded EF-40. Choice smoky lavender-gray surfaces with rich deeper accents in the shield stripes. Not quite full eagle and scroll details on the reverse. A nice representative specimen of a common die variety for the year 1800.
A "collar" (clash mark) shows along Liberty's neck about half the length of bust on this variety, due to clashing from the reverse die. A line extends to left from just above foot of 1 in date. Upper left star very distant from L, almost as far as first star is from hair, between 2 and 3 mm. 180 in date close, 1 originally cut too far to the left. This obverse die used to strike 1800 BB-196 only (PCGS # 40079) .
Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.
Ex; Hesselgesser Collection.
