Guess the grade of this 1798 $1 large eagle. I believe that it is B-8. I really love the way this one looks and the wear is just the way that I like it. Here are a few pictures I just took with a new lighting setup, let me know what you think! I tried to get the pictures to match the coin as best I could. It is graded by PCGS.

Tough, obverse looks a grade and a half higher than the reverse. I think they said VF20.

B-8 seems right to me, and I'm on board with VF20. Great eye appeal.

I'll agree with both VF-30, and B-8 BB-125.

Nice looking piece. F15. Could go 20 but I bet PCGS was tough on it.

It is a PCGS VF 25. Is anyone surprised? Compared to Photo grade it was a tough call for me between 20 and 25, but they went with 25. Anyway I am very happy with it. Thank you all for guessing!

I agree with everyone else on VF-20, especially when comparing with photograde.

Either way, it is a nice looking coin!

I am not surprised but I sure as heck wouldn't be resubmitting that one looking for an upgrade. The obverse could make 25 on a good day but the reverse looks 15 to me.

Either way it's a beautiful coin and worthy of any collection.

Gotta remember the original strikes are often weak on early dollars.
