This 798 $1 Large Eagle was just acquired at the Dalton, Georgia, show...will be reholdered to reflect the BB-108 designation and to replace a slightly chipped holder, then off to CAC-!
This 1798 Draped Bust Silver Dollar, graded PCGS VF-30, represents the scarce BB-108 “10 Arrows” variety, a distinctive subtype within the Large Eagle series. The reverse shows ten arrows in the eagle’s talons, a feature that distinguishes it from more available varieties of the year. Even at the Very Fine level, the coin retains solid detail across Liberty’s portrait and the reverse eagle, offering an appealing balance between affordability and historic presence.
Overall, PCGS has graded 349 examples of the 1798 Draped Bust dollar in VF30, with 1,039 finer. However, within the BB-108 10 Arrows variety, PCGS has certified only 122 coins in total across all grades, underscoring its scarcity. This piece combines a collectible grade with a much tougher die marriage, making it a desirable representative of early U.S. silver coinage.
