I purchased this coin today at a coin show. I've always wanted one. I love it. The grade is historically perfect. I wanted one that was used buy early Americans without problems. I think this fits the bill. I need to figure out which one of the 1798's it is now.

If looking according to the Bowers (BB) numbers, I'd start at the end and work backwards. You be there in a few.

@alefzero thank you. I use your information as a lead towards finding the variety. I don't have the Bowers book. I typically use PCGS coinfacts for research first and go from there if necessary. That app is incredible.
This thread is incredible!
I bought some other stuff but I would like to see some other things that you guys have purchased.1 -
I posted this coin a few months back, but I finally got around to photographing it myself. A rather lovely MS62 Trade Dollar.

Here's a coin I just purchased from ARCO. It replaces a corroded eyesore in my collection.

Guessing it's one of the "With L's" that has the repunched date? Sure looks like it. Neat find.

It’s not likely a grease filled die, but rather a tapered planchet. It should be under weight by a tad.

Agree. It would be unusual for both dies to be grease filled on the same side to the same extent. The planchet used to make this coin was punched from the end of the strip where it was tapered. Cool error.

1798 BB-111 / B-11
This a more proper set piece than the 4 bits I have for the variety. I am keeping that one too, as it is a previously unknown terminal die state, where the two obverse cracks merged to form a long cud, taking out the 13th star.
