1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9, Four Berries VF25 ANACS. B-8a, BB-125, R.2. A long vertical die flaw to the left of the bust identifies the obverse. This is the only four-berry reverse of the year, which is a simple diagnostic. The reverse die has shattered, with numerous cracks throughout, which indicates that this piece is Bowers-Borckardt Die State III (Bolender-8a). Light tan-gray patina covers the devices, which contrast nicely to the slightly darker fields. Several letters in UNITED are soft, as always seen, and the left stars are also weak. Two small planchet defects account for minor rim flaws on the right. There are no noteworthy marks, however, and this interesting variety is quite appealing overall. Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 10/2008), lot 1069, which realized $1,840.(Registry values: N1793) (#6873)
I paid less than what it sold for in 2008.

I just walked by a live Heritage auction 5 minutes ago. Must be something in the Platinum sale.
