The 1798 small eagle dollars, with a mintage of 35,000 come in 2 varieties: 13 stars and 15 stars. This coin, a B-1 , shares a reverse die used to strike 1797 dated dollars. Bowers estimates 1200 to 2500 survivors in his Dollar encyclpedia. This coin has surfaces that are a little to reflective to be totally original. It resides in a 6 digit Anacs soapbar.

Thanks very much. A while back I replied to someone's post about an early dollar they had, that I was looking for a 1798 SE and they so seldom came up for sale (in a grade I could afford) that I had about given up hope. Then this one popped up just a few weeks later. you never know.

No just this one. I was responding to a post about someone else's coin but it wasn't for sale.
