The softness in the reverse stars is a result of the late die state that is common on the variety.

My initial reaction was also XF-40. May get net graded down to VF-30/35 for scrapes and old cleaning.

i think its a little low but I've seen this before on these early pieces. isee more strike issues than they probably attested to. its a super nice example of an 18th century dollar

panzaldi you are correct about the strike issues with the early dollars. Below is a PCGS MS62+, BB165 with the same strike issue on the reverse. If the grading on the 62+ is correct, the OP reverse sure does not look like a VF30.

I typically do not buy coins with strike issues, but on the 1799, I did make an exception.
