1799 Draped Bust/Heraldic Eagle Dollars
Obverse Stars Arranged 7 left & 6 right
1799 Irregular Date

   

One obverse die displays the two 9’s out of alignment and tilted away from each other. This obverse was used with three separate reverse dies, to create three varieties. These may be distinguished based on the appearance of the reverse stars.

   

Select the coin’s reverse star arrangement: 

   
15 total stars - the first and last nearly hidden by grossly enlarged clouds
   
13 Stars arranged in curved arcs, as normal for 1799
   
13 Stars arranged in straight lines, as previously used in 1798
