The reverse displays the notable Arc Star pattern, a subtle but important characteristic for specialists of early dollar die marriages. This variety has long attracted attention for its combination of identifiable diagnostics and relative availability compared to rarer 1798 marriages, yet it remains elusive in higher circulated grades.
As Q. David Bowers observed in 1993, an estimated 275 to 450 pieces survive, most in lower grades through Very Fine. Extremely Fine coins appear only occasionally, while About Uncirculated examples are genuinely rare. This XF-40 specimen represents a desirable balance of rarity, quality, and historical appeal within the early dollar series.
