<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 26737474, member: 7638&quot;]The hair detail is clearly in the vf20 to 25 range (check pcgs photograde).&nbsp; from what I have seen of the small eagle dollars, the reverse almost always seems 1 or 2 levels below the obverse. </p><p>&nbsp; I agree it probably had a cleaning in the past, but it was lightly done (no hairlines) and has retoned pretty evenly overall. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Bowers, in his silver dollar tome, estimated 35,000 small eagle dollars struck in 1798 compared with 200,000 large eagles. There are 2 varieties, 15 stars and 13 stars, with the latter being more common. He estimated a population of 700 to 1200 for the 13 stars. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ll need to study it a little more to evaluate the die state.&nbsp; </p><p>A pretty scarce coin and hard to find a decent example in a low to mid grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
