Key Red Book Type Early Dollar! 1799 $1 BB-159, 8x5 Obverse Stars. This striking coin showcases appealing sandy-gold, pearl-gray, and powder-blue toning, with the reverse noticeably lighter than the obverse. Sharply defined for its grade, it exhibits only minor high-point wear consistent with its EF-45 designation from PCGS, and no significant marks detract from its charm. The BB-159 variety is distinctive for its unique 8x5 star arrangement on the obverse—eight stars on the left and five on the right. This unusual configuration likely resulted from an engraver’s error, where eight stars were mistakenly punched on the left before adding five on the right to complete the die. Easily recognizable, this variety is among the most coveted in the 1794–1803 early dollar series. 

Provenance: From the Legacy Collection. Earlier from Heritage's Baltimore ANA Signature Auction of August 2008, lot 765; Heritage's Summer FUN Signature Auction of July 2014, lot 3802.
